Cheers Trev Trev - no apologies needed mate they are now finished and will be on their way soon - as far as I'm concerned there's absolutely no need for any extras. If it wasn't for bad weather last weekend on a day planned for yard work, my efforts would probably still be in the tying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trev Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 (edited) "Becareful Mrs Swordfisherman you have no idea what youre messing with this stuff can be extremely addictive..... plus you will need some 'fuzzle'." Weiry, She would also need some dubbing, a picker, bobbins, thread, hackle, capes, pliers, wing burners, spinner, bodkin, some exotic furs, e.g. fox, mink, rabbit, kangaroo, dear, arctic fox, polar bear, plus some fish hair polafibre, marabou and flashabou and zanadoooo???......... My garage is full of stuff that I might one day use...... Cheers Trev Edited December 4, 2005 by trev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsswordfisherman Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Hmmmmmm ok a huge magnifying glass, peacock feathers, a vice, eyes and adhesive.........This is starting to look like my mum's needlework group!! Actually I can go rifle through all their stuff, can I use the silver lame perhaps and make some really trendy retro flies??? All jokes aside guys it looks absolutely fascinating and very skilled. Can you post some more pics so I can get a real handle on this please Cheers Donna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellow submarine Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Piping hot fellas. Trev and Weiry nice work! What is the best type of container to keep flies in. I am currently using a PLano box but find that some of my flies get damged. What do you guys use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trev Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Piping hot fellas. Trev and Weiry nice work! What is the best type of container to keep flies in. I am currently using a PLano box but find that some of my flies get damged. What do you guys use? Yella Sub, Different containers for diferent flies. I have a little metal container I use when bass fishing as it holds a variety of styles and sizes without crushing them To store at home I use old video containers with foam glued in or small compartment containers from the $2.00 shops e.g. Go-Lo, reject shop etc Below are some other flies I have tied.

trev Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Trev, You're not the bloke around Blacktown that is often seen trimming bits off road kill are you ??? Ive been found out!!! The road kill bandit...If it can be skinned I want it's fur if it can be plucked I want it's feathers. It just becomes an obsession and I really don't fly fish that much at all any more. I am sure my poor wife cringes when ever we drive past a dead animal... I was nearly banned from Toronga Zoo and featherdale wildlife park Everyone else looks at the animals I go straight to the aviery and look on the ground for rare feathers... I need help I need help help help h e l p 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
