    Default Tungsten flies


    I haven't tied a fly in years but I gave these a go. I used tungsten cones and beads with Daiichi hooks in size 10, 12 and 14. Bunny tails with 2 strands of flash, hackle and size 2 or smaller chenille. More challenging since I'm getting older. These weigh 1/64-1/80 oz.Name: IMG_4520.jpg Views: 168 Size: 64.8 KBName: IMG_4521.jpg Views: 177 Size: 61.4 KBName: IMG_4522.jpg Views: 169 Size: 55.6 KB

    Great looking flies Jim. So many different kinds of fish will eat those!

    Very nice ties!
    The best thing my dad ever gave me was his love of fishing.

    Those would do some serious work down here. The top pic look like some top notch crappie catchers.
