Ryan Kral Posted February 10, 2013 Report Posted February 10, 2013 Just messing around with my new materials. I ordered the Congo Hair materials from FTD, very happy with it. Exactly same as working with EP fibers, at a quarter of the cost. Quote
Rob G Posted February 10, 2013 Report Posted February 10, 2013 Nice profile and coloration! Good lookin' fly and yea, I lke Fly Tyers Dungeon and many of their materials as well. Quote
Tom L Posted February 11, 2013 Report Posted February 11, 2013 I've been playing with Congo hairs also, but never got this nice. Well done! Quote
Jim Wright Posted February 12, 2013 Report Posted February 12, 2013 Nice tie! Just checked out FTD site, very cool, thanks for the tip. Ha, my dumb ass thought you were talking about the florist... Quote
Tim A Posted February 12, 2013 Report Posted February 12, 2013 Nice job, Ryan. Keep tying 'em up. These flies look simple, but there's a lot you can play around with. Try changing up the flash, the final trimmed shape, and the amount of material you use. The material takes prismacolor marker coloring well, too. I like angel hair sparsely within the fly, and reserve stiffer, wider flash for the outside (last tie before whip-finishing). Quote
