Seanook Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Gaaaah! Such a tease. Been waiting for a package of aminal bits to arrive from the North Country so I can start with some concepts. All nice entries. Can't wait to submit one of my own. Anyone have any advice as to a book or website for ideas and techniques? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craiger Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 Will do for sure...just trying to decide on the wing I want to go with. Dee style or a tented mallard wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craiger Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Hey guys I finally had time to sit down and finish the wing. I went with the mallard and thought it turned out well. The head is still bigger then I like, but the fish won't care... hope you like it. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasin_musky Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 I have never tried to tie these before and seen this and figured what the hell lol. Will be good for a laugh, I made do with the materials and hooks I had and came up with this. As usual I am all about natural colours. http://s1142.photobucket.com/user/live2fish85/media/20130411_181325_zps5ade1e83.jpg.html'> http://s1142.photobucket.com/user/live2fish85/media/20130411_181255_zps99adefdb.jpg.html'> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ron4blues Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 I think I've gotta up my game here! Great ties, folks, and CC hasn't even put an entry in (yet). Keep them coming, I'm salivating here. IHF. . . I love the colours and the marabou. Chasin_musky. . . natural colours on the right conditions are killers, and I'd say you've got it!

chasin_musky Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Thanks Coachman. I tend to have something in a natural colour for all conditions. Black for dirty and so on, I do tie some things in pink, purple and some othres. How ever I rarely use them or find a need to. By no means am I a pro or anything close I just know what works for me.
