I'm picking up  snobrder151's flies tomorrow that only leaves one more to wait on 
 
Do you guys want me to just ship what I have and leave it at 11  plus one more of your own or do you want me to wait
 
 

Loomis,
If you have them done then send them to Skip. We've waited this long what's a couple of more days.

That Woven Stonefly was done by snobrder151  I'm sure he'll chime in soon

ORIGINAL: vinestbrew

 I got mine today, everyone did a great job. I was curious to know how that body was done on the stonefly. Haven't seen that before. 

Just a woven body i'll take some pics tonight and post it so you can see how to do it.  It's actually quite easy once you get the hang of it.

i'll make sure i get it up on here tonight.

skip??
 
fishen coyote, if those are all the flies you got, the one i tied isn't in there. i tied a king river caddis.
also the one in the bottomt rt. hand corner i did not recieve.
i'm not complaining just thought i'd let you all know.
if everyone can point out their fly i'de appreciate it.
       thanks, ~dt

here goes


Use a long shank hook.  Start your thread in the middle of the shank and wrap back.  Tie in your tail and wrap forward back to the middle of the shank.  Im using 30 lb backing on this fly.  Take your 2 colors (black and green for this fly) and tie them in at the middle of the shank and work back to the tail.  then wrap back forward to the middle and whip finish.



Now turn your vise towards you and put the green over the black.



next put the black though the loop you have just made.  (same knot to tie your shoes.) 





Just open slightly and make sure the black goes on top and green on the bottom.  Push it back to the tail and pull tight.  repeat the steps exactly  Black is always behind the green and goes though the loop every time.  It takes some practice.  If andone has any additional questions feel free to pm me and ill try to help.  sorry for the blurry pics on some my camera is acting up for some reason.

I tied the tungsten bead sparkly caddis with the black hackle. paul

DT, I tied the larva lace serendipty........thanks all....
