John Gillio Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 I don't tie much, only enough to keep a couple friends and myself in supply for the season. I usually stick to a few proven patterns. I have seen some really nice flies on this forum and have been inspired over the past couple of years to try a few new patterns. Rob G. got me interested in trying some crease flies last year. They have been very productive the few times I have been able to use them. The other flies were tied more recently and haven't been fished yet. They include my first attempts at a jointed streamer ( my version of one Rob posted on another thread). It moves great in the water. I watched Tom L. do one of his foxy jigs at the Early Show. I gave it a try and can't wait to get it on the water. The others are my first attempts at a fly with packed deer hair ( not tightly packed ), and a gurgler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mannym Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Good looking flies! Now if the river drops 6 feet, you might be able to wet them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom L Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 A bunch of good tyes. You've got the entire water column covered from top to bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Nice looking flies, all of them, and we know they'll fish. I too have been inspired and have learned much from others on this forum and from our swaps. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Gillio Posted August 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Nice flies John. What material do you use for the crease fly body? Thanks Thanks Sam, the body is made from 2 mm craft foam from Hobby Lobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
