Jim Wright Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 This is what happens when I work night shift then try and turn the body clock back around.Some simple stuff; 2 or 3 materials.Then more complex; 5 or 6 materials.I prefer the former.

Mike G Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 I like the RWs. Might just be me. How do they produce for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Gillio Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Jim, on the r/w it looks like you tie in a zonker strip in front of the eye and maybe one behind. Does this make the fly ride hook point down? It is a very cool looking fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom L Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Nice ties, Jim. I prefer simple and less materials flies also. The blacks and the whites look like good steelhead flies. The run is in full swing, Jim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The complex ones with the zonkers are from Fly Tyer mag spring '17 issue. It's called a "white demon". I'll let you know if they hunt. Sadly my version looks like Ray Raynor's version! (I've just aged myself). The others are an interpretation of Tim Holshlag"s patterns. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The run is in full swing, Jim. Never thought of those for Steelhead. I figured them for warm water species. I am going to get up there to try again, Tom!

John Gillio Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Jim I took it that Mike meant red and white flies. That is what I was referring to anyway. At any rate, the Ray Raynor white Demon is a nice looking fly. I wasn't able to see Ray very often. We just had an antenna TV and we were just far enough out of range that there was usually more snow on the TV than there was Ray. It was a treat when we could manage to get good enough reception to see him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Wright Posted March 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Ray Raynor was like my Good Morning America while I was growing up on the north side of Chicago. RW = red/white. Rodger that! It was a fun tie. There where step by step instructions in the magazine. I had most materials. Some I made do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
