Fly with eyes

I just started using these chain beads for eyes, I like `em.
 

 

Porcupine embryo.

Well, I was trying to imitate freshwater shrimp by clipping the top hackle off.  I'm just playing around basically.  I added a small tail to this one.
 

I thought it was a bottle brush caddis.

Freshwater shrimp

Tie in, move to hook bend, take two pieces of heavy mono, burn one end for the eye, shrimp eyes stick up a little bit. Take a small bunch of moose mane and tie it in, take a small bunch of calf tail and tie it in. Tie a piece of shell back or plastic back in and something to rib. Tie in a hackle, dub back to the eye, pull the shell over, rib it, put a small pheasant heart in for the tail and salley hansen the whole top including the tail.

Give me 20 mins, ill whip one up.

I replaced the calf tail with marabou

Its brown... Maxima Chamelion 12lb leader material

You could also dip it in paint.

Here is the underside.
 

Here is my first attempt, I don't really have the right material.  This all started with my quest to tye a cricket.
 

 

Tie your biots in on the side of the hook, tie them in first thing before your foam. Btw, pheasant tail fibers would make good legs for that.

look at the biots on the wiggle stone

Gander mountain does not have wing burners. They are thin pieces of flat metal that have shaped edges. Tey are made like tweezers. You put the feather in then burn the edge of the wing. The metal makes the shape of a wing you can get them in the shape of caddis, mayfly, and stonefly wings that Ive seen. The pros use them a lot for wingcases. Some people swear by them others want nothing to do with them. you could prob. make one your self you just eed the shape right.
