Love the Black Magic one!
That red tag fly looks like a killer!! Nicely done and great job on the photobox!
Thank you for the pics of the photo box. I love the ingenuity; I’ll have to copy it
Tied a few Road Kone Kebari, both beaded and beadless, then figured I tie some Killer Bugs but ended up with just one before discovering the Killer Road Kones.
I tried to add a photo to the previous post but failed. Will try again.
LOL, I’ve inadvertently created a bit of confusion here after I somehow deleted my original post.
I had commented how flies seem to recycle themselves throughout history, both deliberately and inadvertently. Seeing the post about the Road Kone triggered an epic day on lake brook trout close to fifty years ago. I pulled out an old fly book and found the responsible fly, then called the carrot. That’s the fly in the previous post.

These are great, the classics are classics for good reason.
Hi I’m new! I’ve been tying these little guys for a while and they’re proving to be pretty effective for very small lake fish. Just wanted to share. That’s a number 20 hook but I’m wanting to try out some I’m tying on Tanago hooks just to see how small a fish I can catch.
Worlds smallest wooly bugger!
I acquired a snowflake bobwhite pelt that makes some great soft hackles! Pearl dubbing body and ostrich hackle collar helps keep the soft hackle nice and spread in the water.
This has been turning into the kebari that finds it way onto my tippet most this summer. The peacock and red color combo never lets me down. I tie these relatively large on a long shank size 12 hook. They are easy to see subsurface and have helped me with my fly manipulations by being able to watch the effects of my pulls and pulses. I tie these in a purple thread version that is also effective. Im sure any thread color would work but I’m confident in red and purple so thats what I go with.
It looks like you are reinforcing the herl with thread? Can you briefly describe the tying steps?
