I do those from time to time with people who have flies I really like. Usually I tie 3-6 flies (of one or more patterns)and so does the other person..no deadlines or pressure to tie a lot of flies. If your interested let me know.Kiwihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03264481445338519105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6537226126578846662.post-62055447608192883292012-01-26T02:01:48.539-05:002012-01-26T02:01:48.539-05:00I remember the brassie sakasa kebari!

Late last fall I tied a few of my GCC (Glossosoma Case Caddis) nymphs on a size 14 Daiichi 1250 scud hook with a 2.5mm tungsten beadhead to really get down in the higher-than-usual Sierra waters last fall. I've started playing around with woven nymphs. Once I get one that I like I'll post it on the forum. Maybe I'll do one for the next fly swap!Alberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03072638444674104804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6537226126578846662.post-82859858719779072992012-01-25T14:31:24.003-05:002012-01-25T14:31:24.003-05:00Albert...I was in the last TUSA swap also. My fly...Albert...I was in the last TUSA swap also. My fly was the Brassie Sakasa Kebari. I have the two you sent and I count them among some of my all time favorite from the four swaps I have participated in. I briefly lost one of them and wanted to kick myself for it but I found it. I almost always use a Mustad C49S hook for my kebari, size #12. I tend to use that size because I have had everything from 5" brookies to 17" largemouth bass take them. Thanks for the compliment. I would love to see any other flies you have...post them on the forum.Kiwihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03264481445338519105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6537226126578846662.post-37183181819120333192012-01-25T11:06:50.549-05:002012-01-25T11:06:50.549-05:00Trust me, the combo will catch fish!

If you have the oportunity to fish a fly like this I would highly recommend it. Take away the hackle and collar and you're left with a Killer Bug which is a very effective fly and a breeze to tie.Kiwihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03264481445338519105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6537226126578846662.post-65602529548375611532012-01-19T05:45:56.488-05:002012-01-19T05:45:56.488-05:00Kiwi..This fly reminds me of the fuzzy nymph serie...Kiwi..This fly reminds me of the fuzzy nymph series.

I think it looks great when wet but I think it might also be appealing to fish because the wool is soft and the fish might just hold onto it longer than a very hard-bodied fly. This would help give just a little more time time to hook the fish....or at least that is what I read somewhere. I'll leave it up to the judges this coming season.Kiwihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03264481445338519105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6537226126578846662.post-55348883163192840682012-01-18T12:01:52.294-05:002012-01-18T12:01:52.294-05:00A nice fly.
