Caution- not classic

A place to discuss the collecting and tying of classic flies, the tyers who made them famous, the tools, materials and techniques they used as well as the waters they were designed for. While classic is generally used to describe old things, classic is also used in the sense of first class or in the highest form. Therefore a fully dressed Salmon Fly, or a Carrie Stevens Streamer are just as much classics as a Chernobyl Ant would be. Enjoy the forum.

Caution- not classic

#1

Easy extended body parachutes. Design is inspired by Tim Flagler, except he uses midge tubing to tie the extended body, whereas I use a thin strip of 1mm sheet foam tied over a sewing needle. Will fish these for first time in a few days in my annual trip to de mntns. Can’t wait.

Stephen,

I believe you're going to fool a lot of fish with these flies.
Very nicely executed. I hope your trip is safe, enjoyable, and
productive; looking forward to your report and pictures!

I need to bring your book back to the house too.

Thanks- Ken
