Hey All,
I don't often post but I have to say this is my favorite place to check out what friends and acquaintances are up to, and more importantly, to get inspiration to keep progressing. I also appreciate not only the passion for tying, but also the passion for actually swinging these creations. After a long break and a trip to the Far East I finally got down to tying some new bugs for Northwest steelhead and also getting some X-mas gifts done...here are a few I came up with - mostly based on classics but taking license to make subs where I don't have the proper materials. I'm also including a pair which shows an interesting comparison in hook size - the Alex Jackson size 1 spey hook vs a vintage English Partridge 4/0 Code N hook: they are almost identical in length, the Partridge being only about 1mm longer. Thanks for looking guys and props to all the great work being shown here.
PS - James, I tried to copy your Mint Eagle with the spey Dee - you're gonna have to show me how it's done proper!
