Pan Fish Charlies

[prybis]

Well I played hooky from work today to take care of some automotive issues that really did not need anything done about. So with that in the books and the cold weather I decided to tie up some more Pan Fish Charlie's. I have a small box that I use to put newly tied flies in for easy access for testing. The plus side is the small side of it. I almost got it completely filled up. I have been tying these for the white bass run and another option for the stocked trout. I have a variety of size and style hooks I used. The main 2 hooks used are TMC 9394 and TMC 200R. The smallest size of the 9394 is a 10. The 200R runs down to either a 20 or 24 but I did not go smaller than a 14. These are tied using bead chain or barbell eyes depending on how deep I plan to fish. I used either flex floss or mini flat braid for the body. I used kip tail for the wing on most but I tied a few with kid goat hair for experimenting. I am sorry for the poor pics but I had to take them with my cell since my battery for my digital is dead. Enjoy.

Dude, those are some really nice flies. How on earth do you plan on using all of them? Maybe you could donate??? LOL Great job Mike!

That is just the thing krebsie. I probably wont use them all and I usually go fishing by my self since I normally do not get out of bed till 10 on the weekends. I also give the opperations manager at my work 1 or 2 each time I tie a batch like this. Than half I will loose in the trees and the rest becomes eye candy. I been getting the itch to do some wading and I am anxiously waiting for my vacation next month.

Perhaps it's time for a massive FLY SWAP for TFFr's! Just an idea...
