Rug Yarn Perch

[ellisredfish]

Here is my version of a fly made from rug yarn. I saw this type of fly made by a good fly tier on another board and deceided to try one. I tried it out on a pond to see how well it cast and how it looked in the water. So far I am satisfied with it and will tie several more. It is a very cheap fly to tie. You can get a bag of precut yarn at Hobby Lobby for 74 cents and it comes in several colors. After you tie the strands, you comb them out and trim to the shape you want. The doll eyes are glued on with Goop.

Sweet! Is that a small circle hook?

[ellisredfish]

Yes it is a circle hook. I tied some others on regular hooks. At the time, the only wide gap hook I had was the circle hook.
