Jim Misiura ties a series of flies he calls his "Garbage Bag Series". These are a group of flies featuring wings made of various plastic bags. The bags are those of which I get my groceries in and other big box store purchases. I saw his videos and was intrigued and decided to give them a try. In the end, as you can see below, I think the wings worked very well. Easy to do and I have grey, tan, white and green bags to try... I like 'em!
See Jim's "how to" video's on YouTube here:
Garbage Bag Flies by Jim Misiura
I tied three variations of Sulphurs using tan garbage bags as wings on size #16 scud hooks.

| PT tail, dubbed body and thorax and garbage bag wings - no hackle. |

| Same tie as the first fly only with a PT body as well as the tail. |

| Here I added a light ginger hackle... |
Hola.
ReplyDeleteel montaje sin Hackle te flota bien??
Un saludo
La mosca sin hackle es para Stillwaters. Para mover el agua añado hackle.
DeleteIn english: The fly without the hackle is for stillwaters. For moving water, add the hackle.
DeleteHi Doug, Thanks for the kind words. It's greatly apreciated! I like your version with the light hackle.
