This is going to be another ongoin' thread, just like the JazzFlies Artistic thread........nothin' i post at this thread will have a bead

and please feel free to post pics of YOUR Steelhead & or Salmon Flymphs. These will stricktly be fishin' flies.......although, i highly doubt any fly posted here will ever be tyed more than once. i just see no need..........i've been doin' some up already, the last few days. i found this little stash (maybe 20 hooks, Targus i think) of Salmon/Steelhead hooks.....up turned eyes.....black nickel finish.....so that's what i been usin' so far........but i'll also be using a wide variety of different hooks including all sizes & finishes of the Daiichi Alec Jackson Spey hooks........Bronze, Gold, Black, Blued black, & Nickel, & probably the Gamakatsu Salmon/Steelhead hooks in Blue, Red, Green, & Black Nickel.
More often than not, these are what i do at shows nowdays, as it doesn't take to long to do one. i can see it, folks can see it, and folks are more willin' to hang til it's done so they can have it.

Nobody should have to keep commin' back again and again and again to see if "they're" fly is finished.

And, i've pretty much stoped doin' the "one fly takes all dang day" flies anymore at shows.............because it is so ironic and rediculas that to do one fly a day, i have to have a whole damn fly shop with me, so i can use whatever pops into my head at any given moment.

The last decade on the road doin' fly tyin' shows, has taught me a few things. And one of them, is that the older you get, the less you wanna carry round a fly shop.
Basically decided to do this because it's just to hard anymore to tye on small hooks (other than for fishing), where i just can't be sure how the heads have come out, until "After" i take a pic.....and who the hell has time to take a dang pic and THEN find out you wasted all that time, and just don't wanna post the fly. Thank you very much. So, the flies i post at this thread will all be on hooks large enough so that i can at least insure a half way decent head.
First pics soon.
