Thursday Night Tying Session….

Last week we saw lots of Stimis flying out of vises. This week we are going to revisit the popular…….

tying foam flies

 

Foam Night!!!!!

Thats right we are tying foam bugs. There are even rummors that the Foam Master, Drayton Osteen is going to make a guest appearance! What? It’s true! It’s true! Learn some great tricks and tips from Dr. Dray! Below is a short material list for you to think about.

Hooks – Dai-Riki #730′s or any 1-3xl shank. I also like the hooks 1x strong to give it some weight, helps the fly land hook down.

Foam – 2mm foam in you favorite colors. Black, olive, brown, cinnamon and everyones favorite…. Purple

Dubbing – Any dry fly dubbing will work. Ice dub is a favorite

Legs – Any rubber legs work. Flexi-Floss, round rubber legs and MFC’s sexifloss all work great.

Post Material – McFlylon Rocks! Hareline’s Parapost material is also top notch.

Tail – Krystal Flash

Wing – Elk Hair with a small Krystal Flash underwing.

Thread – Any 6/0 thread works great.

Are you looking for some great body cutters? Keep your fingers crossed, we just ordered a few sets of River Road Creation body cutters and hopefully they will be in tomorrow! These cutters are top notch, sharp as a razor blade and will last through 100′s of bodies. They also get Dr. Dray’s vote of approval. Here is a blast from the past to get you fired up for tying night! Remember 6:00 until when ever the beer runs out!
