The $100 Fly

[Tippecanoe Fly Fishers Admin]

Ok so after a crappy day at work, I have a bad night at my other hobby weekly gathering, then I get home to see Purdue lose again.

I figure I should try to relax and try to unwind tying flies. No pun intended. So these are the first three flies I have tied with out any coaching. They are based of the Krebs Christmas Bugger, but SW didn't have any squirel hair dupping, so I used what they had. Now I can see the difference between natrual and synthic materials.

Of course a cold Lienies always helps with the unwinding process as well.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Any obvious errors?


My $100 fly


$99.95



$99.90

I figure I have to tie a while to get cost/benifit ratio to equal out.

Les,

make yourself feel better and charge yourself at least a couple of bucks per fly to get that balance down. You'd pay that in a fly shop for a streamer. Instead of $99.90, you are really at $94. See, don't you feel better now.

Since Krebsie is the creator of that fly, he'll have to chime in.

Les,

Nice job! Just wait till you catch your first fish on it. That feeling is the greatest. It just can't be described.
