For those who have tomany flies

I have been having fun watching the posts for the fly swaps. It seams that everyone enjoys tying flies as much as I do.

However if you have to many flies and a really good pattrn I would not refuse them . But please send along the pattern so can continue my education.

Of course I am kidding but I would like to see pictures or patterns (including hook type and sizes that you would tie them in).

Thanks - I will be look for it.

GRAY SCUD
Daiichi 1560 wet fly/nymph hook sz.14-20
thread- tan or gray 8/0
tail- mallard flank natural white
back- scud back over white z-lon
body- hares ear gray dubbing mixed with either cream or black to achive desired color
rib- 140 denier gray thread
antennae- same as tail
legs- body dubbing picked out between ribbing
 
1. tie in mallard flank
2. tie in gray rib
3. tie in scud back then z-lon
4. dub body to just behind eye
5. fold over z-lon tie down. Fold over scud back tie down
6. wrap gray rib up body in 3 to 5 turns depending on hook size
7. tie in mallard flank behind eye pointing toward the front of the fly. Whip finish and pick out dubbing and your done.
 
Tiers Note: Some type of epoxy can be used to  cover the scud back but that is not neccesary.
 
 

Loomis - great site you have there. Where are the pictures with the small streeam? It looks like a real nice place to be.

Thanks for the tutorial. I am still having a small problem tying to use the bodkin to set the height of the hook as God saw to it that my left hand is worthless :)
