Title: Hackleberry 1
Post by: sealdaddy on November 27, 2014, 09:32:24 AM

Still have the wings too far back...and not enough tail hairs to show well.
But am having fun learning~!!

If you put the wings together you would have an approximation of a famous trolling fly from New England the Hornberg. Typically sparse dressings catch fish while heavier dressings catch anglers. The hornberg is an exception to that rule .

Yep...Spring is a long ways away....Damn it
Thanks for the comment, guys.

I just watched a video about flies with "Wally Wings"....Very Cool.
That Wally guy was a genius to think of how to make such realistic looking wings~!!
I'm making some now, but cant show them until tomorrow.  My wife is using the computer.
And this tablet isn't that good with photos.
