Hi "Lenap" :z16

Great to see the flies :cool:

When posting photos using the "tinypic" system ........ In the "Resize:" drop down menu ..... Please make sure you select "Message Board (640X480)"

If we don't use the resize tool, the photos can be too big for the forum, which then produces the side scrolling :z5

For more information : see http://www.fishingthefly.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=1951.0

Best wishes
Mike

glad you liked them, 3rd photo details, hareline dubbin ice dub, mix rusty brown with holographic golden orange, add a touch of doug swishers ( rub a dub dubbing ) your color choice. its dubbing with tiny rubber legs mixed throughout. i always add some pheasent marabou for life like movement. comb out well with gun cleaning brush, add just a swipe of marker pen behind bead head and comb thru, watch the colors change and dazzle your fly. a drop of hard as nails or super glue after your whip finish should do it. the take on this scud is very subtle yet vicious. i make a longer marabou body for this fly with a kevlar knotted trailer that helps with short strikes. pete :z16
