In the beginning of the year (last post), I showed the Crappie Pimple Fly. I did it in Red, But as Grace knows, the Chartruse version worked better. So I'm dedicating that fly to my dad and calling it KN36. I will be tying it at HFFA and SowBug.

CRAPPIE PIMPLE

Here is a new fly I created this morning. Tied on a Herter's No 11 vintage vise. Once the RAIN, WIND, and it gets above 50° (actual i would preffer above 60), I'll get to go out and try it. I call it the Crappie Pimple! Like normal, I'm doing it in red, but have the chartruse version for Grace :-)

Material list:
Hook = 3366 size 8
Thread = 6/0 Red (140 denier)
Tail, Under Body, Head = Red Ultra Chenille (1 piece for all)
Rib = Red Brassie Wire
Body Cover = 3 strands of Red/Orange Northern Lights

TYING AT THE CABIN

Hello Happy Fly Chuckers! I'm up at the cabin for this Memorial Day Weekend. But it's been rainy and cold (46°). At least it's not snowing. There are going to be a lot of people up here so I needed to get creative in my ability to do some fly tying. So I created a space in the Pole Shed. (** tying on a Herter's No 11 vise. one of my favorite vintage vises!) Check it out.....
