Turkeygirl Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 Well here is a photo of a few of the several flies I've tied. From left to right, a Silver Butcher,(wet fly) Cahill(I think,wet fly), and my own 2 creations (1 wet and 1 dry) The first one of my creations, the tail is done from turkey feather (from my last bird I got 3 years ago), dubbing for a body with a turkey tail feather fiber wrapped around, and wings from duck feather I cut off our ducks The 2nd of my creations (far right), the tail is from Grouse feather (only Grouse I've ever killed), body is Peacock Herl, wings are from same turkey feather, and the cream hackle from hackle I picked up from one of our mini/Bantam chickens that got caught by a fox back in the summer. Oh, and the wings on the Silver Butcher also from one of our ducks. So let me know what ya think! I'm trying to make enough so maybe I can make up a few assortments to sell, or at least see if they will,lol. Or maybe a few "giveaways" on Realtree for those of us who do fly fish. I've got the whip finish mastered among half hitch nots, and I quit breaking the thread,lmbo I can see it now "The Exclusive Turkeygirl Fly Collection" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun_300 Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Re: Few of my flies (photo) Great job on the flies Ruth, they look good. I'd eat them if I was a trout! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Re: Few of my flies (photo) Wow, they look great!! I tie my own bucktails, and put some hair on a jig occasionally but, I don't think I'd have the patience for tying them. Hey, I need some black ants for bluegills, Can you hook me up??

rbreedi1 Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Re: Few of my flies (photo) Those are some really nice flies. It takes pretty good skill to tie them and its a great feeling to catch fish on something you've created. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest realtrhunter Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Re: Few of my flies (photo) Awsome looking flies Ruth. Are you using a book to get instructions from? I am thinking of starting to tie flies this next winter after i get done with school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted February 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Re: Few of my flies (photo) Thanks, yes realtrhunter, I'm using books. Well I learned how to tie a little bit at an NWTF Women in the Outdoors Event, so I had some knowledge, got a kit, and went from there. Half.com has some good deals on books.
