The Arsenal
Got the boxes out today for a little cleaning and organization before the Oil Creek outing.. Not a bad collection for only tying for 6 months... Some pics... Bass and Pike box.  Some Clousers.  The Bugger box and some Copper Johns.   Crabs, Bunny Leeches and Muddlers...  Some dries..  Deer Hair Caddis, Stimulators, and some Comparaduns....  The Nymph box.   Soft Hackle wets, and eggs...   Sucker Spawn.  A little latex and some smaller stuff...

Holy flies Batman!! I have been tying flies for over 10 years, I wish I could have a stockpile like that. If you ever feel like you have too many, you know where you can send them

Bings,
None of those flies will work. If you want, on Sunday, you can just hand them over to me and I will see that all are disposed of......

so save your breath I could not hear, I think I made it very clear...

Bings if you want a little critique still, I would push the eyes on the clousers back some. If you aren't its fine. I think it gives it more movement in the water the further it is from the tippet. Gives a more jiggy/darting baitfish look. I would still fish them and everything looks great. No way to tell that you have been tying for less than a year. Must have spent a ton on materials

HC, generally speaking, its the other way around. Lead eyes closer to the hook eye = more jigging action, lead eyes closer to mid-shank = more of a sliding or gliding action. I was mistaken about that for a while, but I've tried both and that's what held true for me. Think about a jig: the weight is all concentrated at the hook eye.

nice work!! He catches them in his sleep. If fishing was golf, he'd be Bob Barker and I'd be Happy Gilmore. Green weenie envy.

Yeah I guess that makes sense Cold, but Id still want them further back? The sliding action would seem more like a fleeing baitfish to me.

You need more dry flies Better get those sulphurs and cahills tied for the end of May.  ( I may have to trade you some dries for some nymphs)

Nice selection bings, the two flies in the lower rt. hand corner of your egg box sure look familiar. Been too busy making musky flashabou tails to tie sthd flies. Looking forward to seeing you on the cricks this fall.
