mizzouflyfisher Posted February 26, 2006 Posted February 26, 2006 1. Comet variations (I particularly like pink comets, 30+" kings on back to back casts is pretty cool) 2. Crazy Charlie 3. Tent wing caddis? 4. My reply was sent prematurely 4. The infamous "is it a fly or isn't it a fly" fly 5. Not sure, but intriguing, seems incredibly simple and I like the flashy underbody. Here's a fly that I just found that looks pretty cool. Dano you'll probably like this fly.

mizzouflyfisher Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 Here are a couple of flies. 1. 2. 3. 4.
Brian K. Shaffer Posted February 27, 2006 Author Posted February 27, 2006 1. Mating Scud 2. Turcks Tarantula 3. Trico 4. Beadhead Prince I wanted to put " some variation " in front of 3 of those. The only one I know for sure is the Mating Scud pattern. The 2nd fly is some form of the Tarantula pattern.. is it a stone version ? The third fly is probably named by the material used for the wings.. just can't see it well. The 4th fly has to be a beadhead prince.. .. Nice ones Kyle - keep them coming! Only wierd thing is your pics do not show up whenever someone would respond back.. do you know how to put them in using that little picture of the tree on the ??

mizzouflyfisher Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 Number 1,2 and 3 are correct. The fourth is close. It's the other peacock herl body, gold ribbed with hen hackle fly. Number 3 is supposed to be a trico spinner, but it has a bunch of hackle, so I wouldn't consider it a spinner. By the way, has anybody ever used a mating scud pattern? Done well with it? From your previous flies posted it looks like we have a: 1. I think these are called whistlers, but I'm not sure. 2. Hi-Vis beetle-I prefer no vis (that way my dad won't steal them) 3. Mickey Finn 4. Damsel fly 5. Some pretty cool eggs What is the middle stuff?
motroutbum Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 1. John Barr's meat whistle the mating scud is out of the orvis catalog and its a new fly for 2006 so i dont think many people would have fished it already....personally i think it was designed to catch fisherman not fish. There are two types of people. Those who dream dreams and wish, then there are the do'ers. I am a do'er!
