Make sure your return address is on the envelope, and I'll send you some of the reverse hackles that have worked well for me, along with some killer bugs, which have also been good flies. Those two are the only ones I've used with my Iwana. Both are simple and cheap to tie, which is good for when I lose them on rocks or trees.TenkaraOnTheFlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17382490702643300295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5411536621710336282.post-45380142332490892832010-11-02T11:42:59.297-06:002010-11-02T11:42:59.297-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Brandonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5411536621710336282.post-53859512918922556352010-11-01T15:59:59.076-06:002010-11-01T15:59:59.076-06:00Hi Brandon, thanks for your comments. Bear Creek i...Hi Brandon, thanks for your comments. Bear Creek is nice now that Summer is over and the big crowds are gone. It's one of the Front Range creeks that is "too close" to Denver... Anyway, the way I tie it is pretty straight forward: straight eye dry fly hook size 20, 1/15 silver lined bead from crafts store, 8/0 gray thread, fine & dry dubbing for the body, 3 or 4 fibers of off-white antron, white antron for the wing (check out this web site: http://www.charliesflyboxinc.com/flybox/details.cfm?parentID=93). I don't mess with the tails since they don't seem to make a difference (to me at least and I like the added sparkle of the mercury bead. send me your address and I'll send you a sample.TenkaraOnTheFlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17382490702643300295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5411536621710336282.post-46511297270018943482010-11-01T08:31:06.958-06:002010-11-01T08:31:06.958-06:00Nice report, looks like a great place to fish.

Looks like something I should tie for winter fishing here in AZ.Brandonnoreply@blogger.com
