coryg Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Just a reminder that we will be tieing flies in John Loebach's heated garage in Lombard, IL on Monday 2/28/11. Meet at 6pm, start tieing at 6:30pm. If all works as planned, AirborneMike Allen will be doing the demo-ing. (Still working out the details.) Come on out for the comraderie, story-telling and just plain fun. coryg <))))>< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest airbornemike Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 The fly I will be tying will be a "rear wieghted Deciever" that Rich Mc turned me on to. Dave Sellers from the west coast tyes this up and is fairly snag proof with great deciever like qualities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Loebach Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Sounds great Mike. Anyone who has flies for the blowout swap bring em along, its easier to make up boxes beforehand. Its still good to bring them the day of if you can't come Monday or you need more time.Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest airbornemike Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Heres the finished fly I finish the head slightly different. It's suppose to be worked like a fluke with a darting motion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rich mc Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 that fly looks aggresive.it will chase the dinks away and get smacked by a big one rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugene f collins Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 That fly just hooked me!!!!!! Is there still room for a newbie to join and Slow everyone down? I now own a vise and that so far is all. But by being around others ( that in my opinion are tying books each) will teach me so much more faster and I will quickly learn what works and what does'nt. what to buy.

jim bielecki Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Looks great...I plan to attend. I think as far as tools go, a bobbin is great to have....but if you look at the old time tyers....they didn't have them. You can tie with just a vice and scissors....but get the tools if you can...the process will be much easier. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugene f collins Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Thank you, thank you, thanks! I was a little nervous in the begining but really was welcomed nicely. Thank you John for hosting. Yes I tied a fly.So much info was flying at me some times. It was amazing. So many things i will start practicing. I now think i have another addiction. I can see so many different things i want to learn to tie. This will be a great fill in when the ice isn't safe and the rivers are raging. again thanks, and i'll see you next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Loebach Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Another one lost to the dark side... Your welcome, Eugene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugene f collins Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Another one lost to the dark side... Your welcome, Eugene. Not totally lost to the dark side. I just see a lot of ways i can alter these flies for use with a lite spinning rod. I drag a couple of flyfishers to the cold but bright side. They start pulling me in to the dark side. The force is strong with their numbers. must resist!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
