Flysmallie Posted December 9, 2009 Author Posted December 9, 2009 At this time I am going to bow out I have no time. Plus since the sale of the shop all of my Tying stuff is in a pile in the garage. Next time I promise quitter Yeah I think you might have your hands full with that new baby and everything else that has gone on. I can come by and pick up that pile of tying stuff and take it and organize it for you. Of course it will be organized in with all my stuff, but at least it will be organized!!! Â Â
Gavin Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 Sorry to hear that...but it makes room for one more... Picked up some stuff for some blockhead variants at lunch...time to break out the saw and the disk sander and machine up some heads.
duckydoty Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 DaddyO I changed your fly to the Schminnow. I still haven't started but at least mine don't take an hour a piece.

Terry Beeson Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 I got to see Duane's flies the other day... AWESOME as usual... Pictures don't do it justice. Got mine tied... NOT the rattlesnakes... But the "SMEs..." (aka: SmallMouth Exploiters...) Ronnie... you need to come by BCO and pick up my flies...

Flysmallie Posted December 11, 2009 Author Posted December 11, 2009 Ronnie... you need to come by BCO and pick up my flies... Your right, I do need to come by. I still don't have the materials I need. Â Â
zsmith62 Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 Okay, so it looks like I am gonna change my pattern as well, I just started tying these and they're kinda different, so I think I'll be submitting some of them instead. I've seen them on the internet a little and have been wanting to give them a try, it's a fly rod spinnerbait... Not too difficult to tie at all, but they're just unique. Zach Smith
Wheatenheimer Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Zach, that is awesome!!!!! What a great idea! Can't wait to give it a try next spring! Keep it up, Brother! Kevin
Micheal Kyle Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Looks great Zach There is a book out there by Ron Knight about tying spinner baits for fly rods.

zsmith62 Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Looks great Zach There is a book out there by Ron Knight about tying spinner baits for fly rods. Yeah, my idea for this fly actually came from a video on youtube with Ron Knight tying his version of the spinnerbait. It is titled "Tying A Fly-Rod Spinnerbait Fly" and says it was actually filmed at the 2008 Sowbug Roundup down at Mountain Home. He says in the video that he drew his inspiration from flies done by Tom Nixon back in the 50's. Mine are a further variation of what I saw done in this video, for starters, I lessened the actual amount of rubber legs, just because I like a little less bulk. Also, the one he does in this video just has plain chenille, I used both plain as well as the pearl chenille, just to add some flash. He paints his eyes on the heads, I glued some of those hologram eyes on there. The most noticeable difference, and probably just a case of me being lazy, is in the actual spinner arm itself. He actually forms his own by hand using wire, I just take the easy way out and bought a bunch of those replacement arms they sell for beetlespin lures... I'm not too sure it really makes any difference, it just saves me some time. Zach Smith
