Mike G Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Happy New Near! Have a cup of cheer. Then consider the question. What was the best new bass fly to come along this year (2015)? Did you see it here or somewhere else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rich mc Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 flies tied with satin fibers have done well for me . rich mc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike G Posted January 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 I spent a lot of time studying Kelly Galloup's articulated flies. The patterns look great, though I did not use them enough to prove the concept. Anyway they have all been around for a while making them not new this year. Flies using new materials like silicon sheets and satin fibers also were interesting. In the end I will nominate Craig Riendieu's Wild Hare just premiered in Fly Tyer. Now I understand his receeding Hare tail. His version is labor intense so I will simplify. I will make it with Gilt Eyelash for the body and a fine wire brushguard. I will try to post a scan of th fly if I can find the magazine issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob G Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 HERE IT IS. A little Hairy Fodder and a little Receding Hare. Did you mean, "Hare it is" or "Hair it is" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
