  • Spoon Flies

    I've been playing around with CCG and CFS pre-cut spoon fly templates lately. In the past I had trouble cutting a spoon shaped pattern or had trouble with the epoxy drying unevenly. Spoon flies are a piece of cake to tie now.

    Additional flies and full-size pictures here...

      Those make me wish I knew how to use a fly rod. Catching fish on those will be a very rewarding feeling for sure.

            That shrimp in the second photo looks like a killer!
            I know the weather hasn't cooperated much lately (which is why you're tying instead of flying) but have you been able to evaluate your flies? I wonder if what looks good to us looks good to the fish?

              You should give it a try. It's really not that hard. I haven't been tying for very long at all. I have only been seriously tying for maybe 4 or 5 months.

              Thanks. I have been fishing a lot lately just not with the fly rod, so I haven't done much on the water testing other than in the tub or sink. May go to the local pool for further inspection though. I lost my whole fly box last fall so right now I'm just stock piling flies for spring.

                      JEREMY,
                      Those look very good.I have been using Gamakatsu Stinger hook # B10S.They have the perfect curve for spoons.I get the spoon tabs from Scott down at Kingfisher in the valley.I use a product called Aleene's fabric fusion to coat them .It dries clear,does not yellow,and it is water clean up.

                          Thanks. No, I haven't tied any poppers but they're not very hard to tie. I might pick up some foam bodies this week and play around with them.

                            What material is the spoon body?

                              I use pre-cut spoon bodies from CFS...http://creativefeathers.com/details.cfm?id=357. I have also tried using holographic tape in the past but it was a pain trying to cut them to the right shape. Much easier with the precut templates.
