Flygal

The T/A bow is the fly in my avitar I have also included a pic of them
below. To give you an idea as to their size the dry fly next to them is
a size 8 long.

Question for a fly_gal
 

I have yet to fish them in the salt but this pattern as mentioned was
first a salt water fly. I used wool for the heads of the fly but have
been thinking about experimenting with EP fibers. My only concern might
be when gluing the eyes on. One of these days I will give it a shot..

To me the wool along with the articulation are two keys to making this
fly so special.

If I were to chose a fly with a similar profiles for the salt it would
be the Slab fly. In the Salt the T/A will always take the back seat to
the Lou's Slab fly.

Question for a fly_gal
 

I think you should stay with the wolly head, the EP will make your heads
much softer thus more difficult to attach eyes.


Here is a pic of the Dave Whitlock Sculpin "Near-Nuff" I mentioned
below....
