Title: Flies wanted
Post by: Fishtales on February 14, 2009, 04:37:40 PM
If you have any particular flies you can't get and would like someone to tye them for you post your request here.

Please use the PM system to do the haggling arranging. Any post that isn't a request for flies will be deleted.

This may be withdrawn once Her Fuhrer Admin gets back :)

I'm interested in some flies for Orkney in June.

Peach Muddler, as per any of the patterns on the OFTA website gallery. 5 x size 10, 5 x size 12

Orange sedgehog, same sizes

Orange halfhog, same sizes

Maybe a few more, once I have time to think about it! Anyone interested?
Title: Re: Flies wanted
Post by: Hans on March 12, 2009, 05:25:44 PM
Can you give me pictures of the flies you want?
Will have to check first if I can obtain the desired materials...

Try this Hans;

That coral hedgehog looks pretty good now too....this could get expensive....
Title: Re: Flies wanted
Post by: Hans on March 12, 2009, 06:53:54 PM
Looks like I can tie most of these, at least closely resembling the ones on the site....
Will tie a few samples, take pictures and show them here.
Than you decide if you want the flies, and how many.
The 30 flies you mention in your post would cost GBP 35, incl shipping.
Maybe PM your mail address, I can send the pics by e-mail.
Cheers, Hans
Title: Re: Flies wanted
Post by: Hans on March 13, 2009, 05:44:56 PM
Guess I can tie the samples this evening and mail the pictures.
Will post them here as well.

Some flies i need if anyone can help.

I want to start fishing dries more and get confidence up using them.

What would i need for wild waters? wee klinkhammers and deer hair emergers?

Deer Gravy sent me some but i culd do with some more
Title: Re: Flies wanted
Post by: Tim on April 20, 2009, 02:53:54 PM
Dark claret deer hair sedge 10 - 14 scale down as the wave drops.

Simplest, most versatile and most effective fly in my box. You can fish as a dry, as a bob fly or both at the same time  :?

I like a version with a silver tinsel rib as well.

(http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1068/741551033_cee6f1fa4f.jpg)

Never thought about tying for anyone else...but for the forum I could turn out a selection of sedges.

PM me if you are interested.

Tim

Chris,

PM  me with your address and I'll send you some dry flies suitable for lochs.

Always happy to help someone new to any kind of fishing.

No charge

Loch dries are no different  from any other kind  of dries.

I am looking for someone to tie me 36 flies in size 14 they are kate mclarens and 2 types of kate variant - 1 dozen of each. I can send pictures to anyone willing do this for me. I know a kate is very common but a chap used to tie this specifically bushy type for me unfortunately he is no longer available.
Any help wi this gratefully received. If you drop me a pm I'll reply with the pictures (after I dig my fishing bag oot the garage!). I have 1 of each kind left used but useable so if neccessary I could send the flies.

Cheers for the help in advance,

Scott.

Goggs,
I generally don't tie flies for other people as I'm a very slow tyer.
As it happens though I'll be tying up some loch flies in the near future.
I'm assuming you're not in a rush for them....there's 8 weeks to the start of the season anyway.
I'll pm you when they're ready.

wee bri...........

That would be much appreciated mate,just let me know in your own time  :D

I would like to thank the tyers who have participated in this scheme for their time and effort.

Only a month to the start of the Brown Trout season here in Scotland so if you are looking for those hard to get flies you better get asking before the tying season ends :)

I would like to give a big Thanks to wee bri for tying me loads of cracking flies,I'm really pleased with my flies and cant wait for the season to get started now!!!!!!!
All Brian asked from me was to donate to the forum which i did promptly.

Thanks Brian.

Hi All,

if I asked REALLY nicely would someone be able to whip me up a good selection of drys like klinks and other emergers. My tying is not up to it yet  :(
Title: Re: Flies wanted
Post by: Hans on March 22, 2010, 10:25:41 PM
Hi Dave,
PM me and I will see what I can do for you.
Please do not wait too long, as in 2 weeks I will be away for a 12 days bonefish-trip at Exuma.
If you tell me what you want (sizes and how many) I will give you a price.
Cheers, Hans

I am very keen to fish my local river for trout this year with the Dry Fly when the time is right

It seems that Olives are the predominant type of fly species on the river.

I would be most grateful if anyone could tie me a wee selection to cover the period from the start of the Season to about July for daytime and evening fishing.

I normally tie my own Salmon and wet flies but just cannot get down to 14's to 18's successfully, especially Parachutes/Klinkhammers

Please pm me if able to help.  I will gladly tie up some good salmon flies for you want to do a swap.

Hi Guys,

I am new to the fly tying scene and while Im getting on ok, I find Im spending most of my time practising and tying and not enough time fishing. So, I was wondering if there was anyone out there who could tie me a wee selection of wet and dry flies, but specifically dry for river. I try and fish my local river 2-3 times a week and have had a fair bit of success on what I would call a yellow may dunn, but cant seem to get a likeness anywhere.

If anyone can help, please PM me for details,

Cheers,

Chris

wouldn't mind a couple turks tarantulas and a couple black supermodels (like the pic admin posted today) if anyone fancies making them or something similar up.  Just let me know how much and who to pay or i could swap for some exquisite drys that i have and i don't as yet use.  They are tiny wee things, i can post some pictures if need be.  Dont know the quality of hook etc as i had them passed down to me.  A few pictures would answer most questions though if need be.

When do you need them for? If you don't mind waiting till the end of the month I'd whip you up a few turks tarantulas for a donation to the forum. I've got stacks of deer hair and more than enough massive hooks  :)

if anyone has the time and know how i'm in need of DHS bob wyatt style for this coming summer,  and a few with rubber legs wouldn't hurt either.  lost most of my decent flyboxes and contents  to  mould and rust caused by a flood

Happy to pay and/or contribute to the forum as i have done in the past....

Would be happy to do a bunch for you. Blue Zulu have attached a quick tied one, just to let you see, if you want let me know colours, more or less wing, larger dubbed body etc. Don't want paid happy just to have a reason to tie. One snag, I'm not home till July but could maybe get someone to post for me during a leave. You could give a small donation to site if you were happy
