Referring to the pic of the 8 flies, the only ones that I can make reference to immediately are the top ones on the right side. They were constructed using Lefty Kreh's pattern. I will post some individual pics and instructions of some of my stuff later. The best thing for me about this program is that up to this point, I have never recorded any written procedures as to how or what I use while tying flies. I just put a hook in the vise and see where it takes me. I usually use a variety of colors of materials and different eyes. Where possible, when I post my instructions, I will try to list fly shop equivalent for materials. For what its worth, I will now record some procedures. As for my materials, they are mostly scrounged. I know how to use epoxy for heads but seldom use it anymore. I use hot glue to construct heads, attach eyes or a mixture of hot glue and play sand for weight and colors. Hot glue gun?-- for my part-- forget it--I only could get burned fingers, messed up flies and living room carpet. Later, I will show you the method I use for applying hot glue. Its not as durable as epoxy--how many toothy fish do you expect on one fly.
I still consider myself an amateur at this and have much to learn.
I feel this is going to be a good program and hope we get a load of participants.
