tippett7 Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Has anyone heard of the young special used at Taney? I saw a guy last year catching fish non stop and he said Young Special but I never got to see the fly. If anyone knows what it is and even better knows how to tie it please let me know.

fishinwrench Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 It's a killer alright. I never did well with the original Summer Brown C&C, but other earthy tones in the green spectrum have paid off before.
flyfishmaster Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 I have created the entire series of these flies 4 differnt styles in 4 different colors. Each style is fished in different depths of the water column. There are a great fly to tie, plus they are so easy to make. The thread is super cheap and can makes thousands of these things for about $1.50 for 300 yards. Later, FFM Woo Hoo Fish On!!
Greg Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Anybody know where you can obtain that thread used for the body? Greg "My biggest worry is that my wife (when I'm dead) will sell my fishing gear for what I said I paid for it" - Koos Brandt Greg Mitchell
flyfishmaster Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Sure do... Go to any store like Target/Wal-mart or fabric store. The thread is standard sewing size Coats & Clark. You choice the color, I stay with earth tone colors.. In order to use, a very large bobbin is needed for hte large spool of thread. I hope this helps out. FYI: A lot of my fly tying material comes from Hobby Lobby, it cost a whole lot less there. Later, FFM Woo Hoo Fish On!!
Greg Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Hey thanks FFM. You've got me curious though. What other materials do you buy at the crafts stores? My wife is always dragging me to one of those stores. Greg "My biggest worry is that my wife (when I'm dead) will sell my fishing gear for what I said I paid for it" - Koos Brandt Greg Mitchell
flyfishmaster Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Greg, Here are a few items I have picked up throughout the years: Foam sheets (you can buy a multiple color pack of 20 sheet for less than $5) Lead wire Crystal bead (200 for less than $2.00, I have used them in hook sizes 12 to 24) Metal bead feathers threads scissors glue sticks yarn That is all I can think of at this time. But each item I purchased is going to last me for years at a lower cost. later, FFM Woo Hoo Fish On!!
