Tom L Posted December 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Thanks guys. Amazing how a little touch of marker can do. Jonn, the eyes are coated with CCG. It is a 3 steps process. First, apply a small amount CCG thick onto the deer hair head, affix the eyes, then zap them with UV light to lock them in place. Second, apply a generous amount of CCG thick around and over the eyes (you can also coat the entire head), then zap them with UV light. Third, apply a thin coat of CCG hydro over the eyes, then zap them again with UV light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike G Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Fire tiger is a great fish getting color. Now you put it in a fly. Great work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike G Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Fire tiger is a great fish getting color. Now you put it in a fly. Great work. Once again Tom answered one of my questions. I was wondering how to work green heart shaped beads into a fly pattern. See one in this picture. Now I can make a firetiger Martha Muddler. thanks Tom!
