esox niger Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Wish i knew how the legs were done on the real Befus Swimming Nymph, if anyone has any advice I'd love to hear it. Im no longer a fan of hook point down flies so i gave this one a try with beadchain. Its a little bit of a _itch. Not perfect but fishable. Wrench and Wayne...first fly with the Hard As Nails...looks pretty good to me. (not sure if its dry though) Hook: Dai-Riki #930 size 6 Thread:210 brown or olive Eyes: XL bead chain Tail: Crayfish Orange Rabbit Flash: Crystal flash: rootbeer/orange? Dubbing: yarn and crayfish orange rabbit Legs: crayfish orange rabbit Wing Case: Brown Turkey /hard as nails over top Missouriflies.com Online Carp Fly Store
Trout Commander Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Nice fly tie. Sally dries pretty quick. If you tie one fly then another one, the first one will be ready to sink test by the time the second one is done. I have spent most of my money on fly fishing and beer. The rest I just wasted.

fishinwrench Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Nice! I have a complete rabbit hide dyed in that exact same color. Lemme know if it produces like it looks like it will, I'll gladly share.
Trout Commander Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Yeah, the way you tie... Nah, I accounted for that. I can test the first one when I am 1/3 of the way done with the second...
