That’s a very nice classic there. Perfect proportions. When I tie that fly mine always seem to come out too skinny. Lead wraps under?? Do you build up the taper with thread??

A PT nymph on a size 14 3906B is a classic if ever there was one. Nice job!

Thank you. Every now and then it’s fun to crank out a few of the classic ones.

No weight on that one. I did build up the taper with thread wraps. However, sometimes I do place lead wire wraps underneath which also helps to build a taper. I used Semperfli Nanosilk 12/0 in brown to tie that PT. I really love tying with that thread.

Very nice. I'm actually going to go old school with some of my PT nymphs this year and tie up some Frank Sawyer pheasant tails.

Are you actually going to tie them with all wire?

Not sure if this fly is officially named. Was tying some shrimp and deceivers for an upcoming trip and decided to combine the two for an EP Deceiver pattern.

Nice Job! Looks great. I've been tying all morning - 4 dozen done so far and I'm about to start working on a few stoneflies and thin mint buggers.

I can’t tie four dozen flies in a month let alone a morning. Impressive feat.

Still working on my hackle stacker wally wing mayfly. This is actually the best out of a half dozen but I can’t for the life of me get a good picture of both wings. I guess it’s the price of being a novice fly tier and photographer.

Some golden stones I plan on using for steelhead. Working on my proportions and trying to get the body taper down.

I LOVE the work with the flank feathers here! Do the ones on the very bottom and bottom left have some underwing material?
