Good stuff John.
I like both the sunrise and fly pics. Nice looking patterns.
4th fly picture, fly in the front with the white wing.
What is the orangish / pink body material?

Very, very nice. You are an artist.

I am envious of your whiting stash. I've used all of the longer hackles from my black cape. What is the barred orange on the throat of #1, one o my favorites.

The GP over wing is a nice touch.

Pulled the trigger on that JC cape a few days back along with a few other supplies needed to get back into the classy stuff. I gave away most of my Akroyd stash in BC this fall.

Wow KK that's some solid work.

S_F those prawn jigs are $$. I love the cerise one, maybe just a bit fatter body w/ more pronounced segmenting?

I'll take my usual dozen, lol

Got a care package from AO Feathers a few days back.

Some much needed eyes.




AO has a ton of awesome stuff, not just highfaluting, extended pinky tying materials either. Check out his hot tipped marabou. Very generous portions of top quality marabou.




He has got some split goose feathers died in a wide variety of colors that make very nice spey hackles. Much easier to work with and far cheaper than BEP.

Now I have to see if I can remember how to tie an effing Akroyd.

Very nice looking materials. I dig the hot tip marabou.
I plan to do a bit of that myself this year with buck tail as well as some window bleaching to get the right colors.

I think I like them. I've twisted up maybe half a dozen using the goose so far and no complaints really. I soak them (as per instructions) in water for a couple of minutes prior to wrapping them up. Quills are thin enough, very pliable, and super strong. Not brittle at all. Not as thin as whiting but way



Bit the bullet on a couple of silver grade whiting rooster capes yesterday. Orange and black.

Your ascot is in fine order Coley.

Guess I didn't get the memo regarding soaking the split/burned goose before tying, so I didn't like 'em. I've just kept on with heron feathers. Only problem is they only come in blue dun. If only I could find some green heron or night heron.

Nice Akroyd. I still have 3 of the flies you sent me last year from my B.C. trips. I'm still open to becoming a fly 'ho the way Paker is a boat 'ho.

If you are still in need of baits Salmo, let me know what you are looking for and I will send a few your way. Could use the entertainment smile

Because steelhead aren't picky, I'm not picky. I'd never turn down quality bait by Coley G. The last batch fished well on the Dean, Buckley, and Thompson last summer and fall. I don't fish them in the winter because they are too nice to fish deep and hang up and lose on the stones.

You make that goose hackle wrap and lie better than I do natural heron.

I'll pull together some more utilitarian type stuff for you. Weight or no weight?

This level of tying skill and artistry is why I'll never post up one of my ugly bugs on here. Oh the shame!

Nice work Coley!

Nice bugs Bantam!

I'll be curious to see what you think of the goose KK. I picked up some of the puglisi brush yesterday. Not sure what to do with it though. Maybe I'll put it one a few flies for Salmo g and see what he thinks of it.

I agree Coley, Nice flies Bantam!

John,
What EP brush are you using?
He has multiple brush products. The only one I've tried is the Anadromus.
I used it on some jigs. Nice stuff but not cheap for the amout you get.
Need to look at it for some baitfish this summer.
