My Menagerie

This is most (but not all) of my best work since 1960 or so, when I first started tying
#20 Kubota scud hook, duck flank, Senyo Laser dub, rooter feather and various glues A Paragon -- mayfly Right Hackle mayfly dryfly (like an under-mounted bow tie) tr For Casting and swimming downstream Krypton Ike -- A Drift Boat Trolling fly Twister Sister Tail Marshmallow Nymph 2.0 -- made with memory foam Black Snellie Mallard Head wet fly duck flank marabou wry fly Snoe shoe rabbit's foot wry fly A wry fly (doesn't matter if it floats or sink....I can't see it anymore anyway) Right Pheasant-tail #16 Sockeye Shiner -- a micro streamer. Tungsen bead, Flashabou and a few blue-dyed pheasant tail fibers Beadbelly Skinny Dipper Skinwalker Skinwalker Fly fishing picture #20 Daiichi 112 with body spun onto a thin beading needle, then wing. Then slid off the needle and mounted on hook. Right Hackle on bottom added as a last step Fly fishing picture EZ Flat Caddis again, from the side Flat Caddis Swizzle Snellie -- tied on a wire, over a spawn sack foundation, and then slid off the wire. This is a Right Hackle fly where the hackles are loosely basted to the bottom of the fly with one figure eight wrap. And then glued in place with UV glue, CA glue or water based fabric cement. Bugzilla Tied this one up last night Skinny Dipper Fly fishing picture Right Pheasanttail -- hackles are fuzz of any kind loosely basted on bottom--and then glued in place. Works for dry flies too Fly fishing picture Halford's Ghost Paraglider Crayfish pattern tied on a jig hook. I've been tying olive sculpins for as long as I can remember. But most I've actually seen tend to be more tan/brown than olive. This one tied on a forward slant #6 jig hook, which are hard to find. The Fly Shop in California, USA has them. A one material fly, from one clump of duck flank Soft shell scud. Plastic grocery bag over Wapsi Squirmy Wormy over Ice Dub dubbing. Gold wire. Scud hook. Open cell foam rubberlegs and bead, tied on a horizontal needle before mounting on a hook Fly fishing picture Fly fishing picture Tiny minnow on a #16 hopper hook. Lead wire on the back side of the curved shank makes the hook flip over, like a jig hook.
