Some recent flies from the vise

[Wbranch]

Sure, is this the fly?



If so the hook is a TMC 2457 in sizes #16 & #18

Shuck - one short piece of pearl Krystal Flash no more than 1/2"
Abdomen - stripped peacock herl
Rib- Extra fine gold wire
Thorax - Brown Haretron
Wing - One well mottled brown partridge feather
Bead - Clear plastic bead

Note: Sometimes if I want to achieve more depth I use a very small gold bead. I fish these with no additional weight either blind across and down or to fish that are boiling and not truly eating off the surface.

Wbranch, thanks for the recipe.

However I think he was referring to the recipe for this fly:

Hook: TMC 2457 16-18
Bead: Small gold bead

Are you inferring Mr. Thrusthouse's tying skills are not up to the demands of producing flies of this complexity? If so have him PM me his address and I'll tie a couple for him.

Everyone on this site is much more shallow than you give them credit for. THouse was asking for the recipe for the fly in the picture that was just a hook and a bead, LU's remark was that THouse did not have the skills to tie a fly with only a hook and a bead.
Just more of the sophomoric humor that IS this site.

WBranch, the guys are right - I was being an ass and referring to just the hook and bead. But I do really like the fly you provided the recipe for and will be tying some up - they seem to incorporate some of my favorite attributes on a fly. In addition, it is refreshing to see some flies and fly recipes on here - so thank you for that!

Would have gone, not went.

 

[lightenup]

Would have gone, not went.

thanks, my bad.....

That is confusion of the past tense with the past participle, and it's unfortunately really common in the US. My guess it's because the speaker is interpreting "should have" as a particle indicating expedience and trying to combine it with the past indicative. I need to study........

Oh no, I'm well aware of the sophomoric personalities on this web site. There are also quite a few major ball busters, monumentally large egos, and a preponderance of back biting, arguing, foul language, and other shenanigans going on.

I used to visit, and contribute more often, but after seeing most threads and posts had absolutely nothing to do with fly fishing I stopped visiting the site a couple of years ago. I came back recently and see nothing has really changed.

You couldn't be more accurate in your assessment. Although I am hoping that you stick around long enough to post some of your outings this spring so that there might be something that is actually interesting to read.
