Playing with extended bodies

**palewatery** · 02-15-2010, 04:58 PM

Not something I tie a lot of, usually just daddies, but thought I'd tie up some March Browns with copydex bodies for the coming season.

Tied a couple without the rib as well.

Mini Hatch.

A few others while I had the needle and copydex out.
Olive Upright.

Yellow May Dun.

Yellow May Spinner.

Hope you like em.

Really Nice Flies Jim. Please tell what the hook is. Looks just what I am looking for. :) Jax

That's an overall fly length of about 7-8mm, should be ok. That'll be about a #20 grub hook.
Let me have a check for the sticker sheets and I'll pm you with what I find.

Jax. Thanks.
The march Browns are on Varivas IWI T-2000 Terrestrial hooks #12 that I bought for tying Hawthorns, the other flies are on Varivas 2200 curved grub hooks #16... Good for scuds.
