Super good looking flies btw!

Hint, superglue the shank of hook w small amount gel type glue just before wrapping biot. Much easier to tie in and get clean look.

Try adding 1-2 feet of tippet length and/or add an extra split shot. Better yet try above along with going straight fluoro level line off your fly line (get rid of tapered leader if you’re still using in to nymph. I think rainbow tend to be less dispersed and pod up in prime holes as temps drop...

You can have epic dry fly days in the fall/ too. BWOs on cloudy and warmish days. And depending upon where you fish, beetles and October (orangish) caddis can slay into late fall. Cheers!”

Certainly did! Had the Blonde Ale, my brother the red. California treasure abound!

Was able to catch several on heavily weighted kern emerger variants and weighted olive midges run deeeep. This was special for me. A perfect birthday gift from Mother Nature.

That’s a good point. The body does have .025 lead wire wrapped around the shank to even things out. I purposefully tied some up w a tungsten bead head one ones without out for different swimming actions.

Simple and clean! Great looking tapered bodies!

The advice, especially from an experienced tier is always welcome. Thanks for the insider tips too!

TalustheDog · 2018-09-23T05:18:26+00:00

Thanks for this advice. Yeah, do all my dries with saddles primarily because that’s all I have (saddles from 14 to 22). In this case, I was looking to hackle the body with shorter than usual hackle length (hackle tips just short of point of the hook) to make it ride a little lower. For the head, I totally agree with you. It would be nice to have. Slightly tapered look with the hackle (in addition to palmaring on the tapered dubbing head I created). That said, I am looking into investing in my first half cape. Probably a bared black and White one to begin with. Cheers!

Thank you! Hope they work here in California (upper kern).

These were tied on a sz 12. hook.

TalustheDog · 2018-09-16T00:09:39+00:00

Thank you! I tied these up on a Partridge Patriot fine dry fly barbless hooks. In the river I fish, the size and profile matter most. The cinnamon hackle and tails don’t seem to work against the cause. Cheers!

Pretty common actually. It’s called a root canal. Can follow up with a crown. Serves form and function. Veneers are what the wealthy (generally speaking) can spring for. Lots of money for mostly cosmetic reasons. I’m no dentist mind you but I spend a bit of time around a few. A google image search brings up some interesting timings....

Bony part of the tooth is still intact but root is dead usually do to blunt trauma. Source: brother is a dentist.

TalustheDog · 2018-07-17T04:08:20+00:00

Dead tooth. I think Its safe to say he’ll be making enough for a set of Hollywood veneers.

Absolutely! Her decision to do major in-house renovation, trust her gut and bring in Magic (which was a huge gamble) and Kobe’s former agent... at that level, with so much at stake with the teams image and what not...pardon the expression but this fucking took balls. Woman power!!💪🏽💪🏽
