I picked up these two project boats in the last few months, I can’t wait to start working on them. The canoe was free but it needs all the wood trim replaced, and a new paint job.
Nice to see you here Mike, I have been following your posts on the drake for a long time, they are just about the only threads I read on that board. Keep it up, I hope we get to see a lot more post from you here.
Thanks, i’m glad they showed up. My plan is to work with the white background next. I tied the ep perfect minnow and the fly in the pic with the blueback herring, it’s a cowen’s mag. minnow. The others are from a fly shop. thanks again for the info on your site.
;D Yea, he hasn’t gotten the “inside the lines” concept down yet, but he’s having fun and that’s all that matters.
I feel one of the major benifits of bucktail over synthetic is the natural taper that most synthetics don’t have. Bucktail will also give you a good bit of action in the water, but you have to find a good tail with soft /fine hair. They have been hard to find around here, most the tails around here have hair that is stiff/thick, i’ve had started ordering them for feather craft. Check out Bob pops hollow fly, it’s made of all bucktail, and moves great in the water.
Here is one of my clousers made with flash-n-slinky for spanish/blues.
Here’s one, I have read that this fly is deadly on tuna, and other blue water fish.
