Chuck, I tie a lot of patterns on Scud Hooks. I like them and I think they hook up better. I tied on the sz 20 at the Conclave and that is the size a lot asked for. I did not think I would be able to still do it because of my eyesight but I was still able to tie them. Tony

I have a ton of those scud hooks, because I bought 100 each in sizes 16,14,12, and 10 a long time ago, and just haven't had many patterns to tie on them.

I have a fly here with a straightened hook that I hooked a Carp on. After about 15 minuets of fighting the Carp, it let go. I found the Scud Hook straightened out. It is a sz 10 scud hook.

I'll have to try some of those out. It looks like it would be a good bluegill fly right??

It is the Step by step on tying the Still Born. I noticed I did not have the step on wrapping the silver wire rib but the rib can be seen in the photos. For the Antron wing emerger the Antron yarn is not cut off after wrapping the body. Just fold the yarn back and over wrap the yarn to make it lean back. Then the Peacock head is wrapped and tied off. The folded back yarn is then cut to the length that you want the wing.. The Still Born has a trailing shuck, I leave it off on the Antron Wing Emerger. On the size 20 midge, I tie it the same way with and without a wing but use thread for the body. If I tie in a wing, it is just a few strands of Antron tied in before I wrap the head. Denny can receive the VFB posts but can't seem to post on the VFB. Can someone help him out on this. Tony -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.
