FLYMPH FORUM

Dear all,

I hope everyone is keeping safe during these challenging times. It's been a while since I last posted but this morning I tied a few #18 BWO soft hackles in hopes of fishing tomorrow. So far, fishing is not completely shut down in my area. Sorry for the picture quality but I just used my iPhone.

Stay safe,
Otto

Looks great and I like the color.

otto, Howdy;

Well tyed. Saw the seal your name Popped up in my head.

fishin' .

my photos are iPhone challenged as well, so glad to see someone else post their flies despite the handicap
These are very tasty morsels.

Perfection.

I took some more pictures today with better lighting and a few different backgrounds. Overall, fishing was pretty good.

I would never be able to tie something like that in those sizes. No matter what size, I would be challenged. It must be either the seal or the camera. I really like the sweeping lines in the fly. What hook did you use?

daringduffer,

That fly is tied on a Mustad R50U-94842 and I personally like a hook with an upturned eye. I mainly fish tailwaters and need to tie on small hooks.

Thanks,
Otto

What a superb pattern. The proportions are so nicely done.

Question - Do you use magnifying glasses? I have become completely dependent on magnification while tying.

What hackle did you use? The recipe would be awesome. I do like those Mustad upturned eye hooks.
