Good stuff..Simple ,quick & effective...No fancy & expensive cutters and crap !!Add a couple of hopper legs & you got yourself a great grasshopper/cricket as well..The deer hair wing will probably make it dive a bit as you strip it...then float back up again

I'm going to have to tie a few of these. What size hook did you use?

[drewnickel]

@frogg07 probably a 1/2-0

about how much does it cost for a cheap fly tying kit like this?

[spacefrogg5]

i don't know actually, its my friend brian's, but i personally tie tons of flies and i just use a complete fly tying kit i got for $20. you don't need anything fancy, just something that holds the hook well.

[jaguarsphenom32]

Ok thank you and where can i get one like that bass bro or gander mountain?

[spacefrogg5]

hi jag, you can get it there, but they are more costly, if you have sportsmans warehouse there its cheaper, but i actually got mine off ebay.

just remember fish don't care what fly tying crap you use as long as it works.

shoot me an email sometime and i'll help you look.

Great looking pattern! Looks like it's going to float well & fish even better. Fantastic job!
