So I've had a bit of an obsession with...

[chasingtails]

Enrico Puglisi's materials recently. I just think they are a whole lot of fun to use and they tie some sexy flies. While I don't think these are perfect by any means, I figured that I'd post some pictures and I will be happy to give the steps for any of these if y'all want them....

They look great. Good work! Lemme know if you need a field tester.

Just the photos of them should be hanging in an art gallery. NICE.

Real nice flies. I second the field testing idea! You are very talented, my friend.

Ha thanks guys. Hanging in a gallery is the last thing they need to be doing though-the only gratification I want is to see them hanging of of the corner of a red's mouth...that being said, let me check my materials and figure out when I can come down there again. If its going to be a while, then I may be inclined to mail some just to see if they get eaten.

I prefer mine tied a little more sparce. that **** aint cheap. they will catch a fish

You should have seen the first bunch, you'd have sworn I used the whole damn pack. I'm trying to thin them out but they just never seem as bulky before they're trimmed. Any advice?

[lsuflyfishing]

I just make it a point to use less material than i think i need. alot goes a long way with ep fibers. I also make sure that i can still see through the flies. its just my opinion though. some people prefer them packed like deer hair. to each their own.

[chasingtails]

No doubt. I like them more sparse, I just get carried away. I have a long standing history with the motto "if one is good, then five is better"

[lav3dash]

I just have an idea.- thanks

Very common problem. I've been tying with EPs stuff for a couple years. Still I struggle to use less. And make no mistake - less is better. Might look into flytiersdungeon I understand Congo Hair is almost identical at... 1/5 of the price.
