Ok then I will do that , but that does not cover the point I made about people adding to it once it gets burried by new posts.

can Zach put this at the top as a sticky or pin it or whatever term this site uses?
I just read through it all (for the first time), but have looked through it before, and there is no way I can remember all of this stuff.

[keith b]

I thought you guys might say that.

After reading this post, I would say watch the video again and go to the Keys for some tapon and bones 😮

OK here are some pics of a deceiver I tied about a week ago.
I played around with somethings previously suggested in the “Help with fly pictures” thread.
I still need to get a tripod, some additional lighting, and maybe some additional reading completed

[keith b]

what were you holding in front of your camera when you took the picture 😉
Is there really that much differenc in the 9ft and 8.6ft?
I have heard these are good rods but have not heard complaints about the different lengths.

The book is FLY TIER’S HANDBOOK by Gene Kugach published by Stackpole Books copyright 2001.

he must have gone to the book store more recently than I gave him credit for :-[

[keith b]

I will check on the book name for you.

Thanks for the tips, I was stuck thinking I had to take the picture on my desk for some reason, probably laziness blocking my creative side 😕
I have tied deceivers before and actually have a couple sitting on my desk.

Thanks Mr. Osborn,
The builk head deciever is a paatern I took from teh latest issue of Fly Fisherman.

This comes from the guy who gave me the picture;
I cut mine one of two ways, both from the back side, cutting through the leather to the hair side.
1. Use one of those letter openers with a razor blade inserted.
2. A very sharp knife, such as a stanley box cutter style, and go through just enough to get through the leather.

see if this helps

I think I may have just offered my first real assistance to someone on this board 😮

I am sure a taxidermist could tell you the best way to cut the hide, and possibly even tell you how to dye it.

[keith b]

well I made it over to Michaels today and found a couple of things, but was still hesitant to get too much, for fear of it not wirking.
I didi get

I can tie wooly buggers 🙂

I must be thinking inside a very small box!
This is just a glimpse of taking my tying to the next level. It must be similar to showing a wanna be pilot the inside of a cockpit of a jumbo jet, a bit overwhelming but I can’t get there if I never see where to go.
Thanks Mr Osborn

😀 😕 :-/ :'(
I have so much to learn :-[

[keith b]

OK, so I now have a question.

[keith b]

I am pretty sure I caught one of those in Hawaii, in a small stream, or it was something related to it. I did not think it fought well at all.

[keith b]

I recognize tim. I have spoken with him several times. I will have to congratulate him next time I am down that way. I thought recognized that wonderful water too.
Glad you scratched the itch. I need to do the same soon

[keith b]

I must be missing something here.
Is there really a whole differnt technique?
I have just done some different things with mine, but I may not be thinking along the same lines with some of my wolly booger small streamers as you guys are with some larger streamers, even articulated.

[keith b]

Thanks Guys, I am sure we will run into each other on the DH.

I am going to the Jupiter/Stuart area, if that helps.

I can make clousers pretty weel, just have not attempted other salt patterns.

I know the Renzetti will hold a 2/0 hook
