Any fly tiers?

I've been getting creative with some pintail feathers, lately. Hope the summer steelies like 'em!

If I need pintail feathers to fly fish, I guess I'm gonna starve.

I don't tie flies, I only use a fly reel on tarpon and bonies. I do tie/dress back trebles on topwaters and some jerkbaits and crappie jigs.

I tie well enough to catch fish on my flies. Good thing they don't have to be perfect.

Something I've always wanted to do. But it's 3 hours minimum to any good fly fishing.

Holy crap! Nice work. The married wing in your last one is sweet, too.

I haven't done the decorative thing, but steelhead flies are fun because you can really just make stuff up as you go along.

Can't say I'm convinced that the captain tied those but they are amazing. Capt, if it was you I apologize for my skepticism. :fishing:

Trolling fly (this one is arctic fox fur)

I have gone turkey hunting. My dad shot a 22lbs. tom w/ a 9 inch beard with his bow. Neither of us could get a shot at the big one, about a 12 inch beard, probably 25-26 lbs.

I have too, but I've never seen a 22 lb goose either.
