That a Varivas or Gamakatsu hook? I think it's a Gama.

Nice step-by-step, bearsfan. I've been meaning to get into tying my own flies and wondered what kind of vise you had or what you would recommend?

I'll second the THANKS for the step by step. I will need to book mark to look over this when I "graduate" to bigger flies.

Hook does not matter, that is a Gama SL12S 4/0. But, I bet that thing would look super slick on an owner. I am tying on a Renzetti Traveler which I purchased when I was about 13yrs old. It is now 13 years old. I love it, if I had the funds and the need to buy a new vise it would be a Dyna-King Barracuda. Thanks for all of the positive feedback everyone.

Very nice demo, bearsfan!! Thanks!
Go for those tarpons, guys!!

Funny how these fly critters always remind me of someone.

I finally ended up with the right colors for the fly. Tied a couple up and then came back to refresh my memory. I tied them upside down (black over purple) - oh well. I will probably just finish them off (flash and eyes and a bit more trimming) and then give them a shot anyway. Thanks again for the step by step.

Mine might be wrong. When do you want to go tarpon fishing?
