Spot the differance

Friday night with a bottle of wine Lena wanted to learn how to tie a couple of flies for herself for the spring time,and this is the 1st fly that Lena ever tied in her life. We were going to start with a simple deceiver pattern for her to follow but she went off on another tangent. Anyway this has black Chinese cock neck hackles tied onto the back of the hook deceiver style.Then she added some strands of silver FFF Flash, then added several small white microbarb saddle hackles. Palmered on 2 Burnt Orange Marabou hairline feathers then finished of the fly with Five longer WMSH's. Stuck a couple of rattle eyes on and then Bug-bonded them together....without any help from myself.

Can you spot the difference between the two flies here.One has been tied by myself and the other by Lena as is the second fly she has ever tied in here life.

I went through the SBS and she watched and listened intently.

Then produced this! To be truthful I didn't have high expectations for here 2nd effort, but once she had bug-bonded the eyes on I realized that she had tied one bad ass fly. I know a lot of fly-fishermen that couldn't tie a fly that well.

Ray's fly

Here is a simple fry pattern with minimal materials that would be great for a number of species. Sure not a pike fly as such but still a hand addition to any fly box. I might tie up some variations of this for Ide this coming spring.

Fly Candy

Another bobble head tube fly.This one I started off tying in 10 -12 different length White and brown microbarb saddle hackles The tied on 20 or so Yellow Ostrich plume feathers. Then finished of the fly by dubbing looped orange arctic fox for the head. Super light and will have plenty of movement in the water

This one os more of a tube bunny in that I started by tying on a 60mm strip brown raccoon zonker.Then added several brown microbarb saddles, then dubbing looped pink raccoon fur for a head
