Re: POC Fly
Nice fly Jeff. Is the hook eye an experimental thing or did it just take your fancy. I've seen salmon flies done that way without hook eyes. How did you photograph this fly? Reminds me of Lance's images.

Re: POC Fly
Hook needed some form of eye or snelled on tippet as I cut it down from a streamer length hook of about 5XL and threw the rest of the shank and eye away. They are cheap and nasty hooks like the Jarvis Walker bulk packs or some such that you find in Kmart and the likes, the label has peeled off the container so I am not sure of origin.Boris wrote:Nice fly Jeff.

The image is a flatbed scan of the fly cropped and altered a little. Still not happy with the process and nowhere near as nice as the results Lance is getting.
