what did you ty today

HairyMooseKnuckles · Mar 17, 2015

Some of the other forums have a thread about fly of the week, so I thought why not a fly of the day. This is the only one I tyed tonight. I was at the bench quite awhile cutting foam disks and gluing up a popper. I always try to end work with a fly when possible, makes me feel good to finish something before I quit for the day. So what is everyone tying today?

Got kids to bed, did work for church (I'm the worship leader), then painted 4.5 dz jig heads for a couple orders..... They're about done curing now.

Well, I work two jobs. Pulled a double today (three doubles each week). I'll do some tying tomorrow, but no flies, just jigs.

I went fishing yesterday, targeting Trout on the fly. Didn't catch one! Realized I need to tie up some versions of most of my bead head flies with tungsten beads instead of brass.

Educate me on the difference? Different movement?

I'm on travel, so the only thing I tied is my shoes.

Tungsten is heavier. That results in it sinking faster.

This is my first popper. I started with a hard foam popper and painted it. The first time I painted it, I'm not sure why, but the waterproof markers would not dry, even after about 20 hours. I came home from work and thought a few minutes. I wiped it down and used fingernail polish. The polish doesn't look as good as the markers, so I will try again and see what may have happened.

Stabgnid, that one Electric Chicken jig is going to be killer! You might want to go back and paint/tie yourself a couple dozen

Didn't ty today, but did powder paint 100 SWM jigs. Does that count?
