Junior's Creations

[Daceminnow]

i had a little time finally to sit behind my sons vice and take a few pictures of some of his latest patterns. some are variations of bugs he has tied in the past and been producers and some are new that we can't wait to throw on our favorite mountain streams. being his father i may be a bit partial but i think he might be grasping the hobby quite well. enjoy the pics, i know we love chucking them.

[Lefty-Canuck]

[WayneChristie]

great looking work! I know a few goldeye that would be partial to that first grasshopper!

[tacklerunner]

Wow. I had no idea he progressed that quickly. Awesome!

[horsetrader]

Nice hooks Dace jr

[npauls]

That kid of yours sure has some talent Dace.

Good to see a youngster picking up the art of tying so fast.

[silverdoctor]

He's only a young feller too eh? Nice ties

[slivers86]

Dace - looks like you have a fine fisherman on your hands :)

[ReconWilly]

Outstanding craftsmanship, can't imagine the pride you must feel Dace, just getting started tying myself i can honestly say that the kids got some skillz!!

[lucky_magic_stick]

Those are some wicked looking flies thats for sure. If he ever needs someone to help test them out, I'd sure love to! :innocent:

[bb356]

Wow .......... thank's !!!

[Dust1n]

Nice patterns!

[BBJTKLE&FISHINGADVENTURES]

Wow some great detail .

[bobalong]

Nice flies, obviously well on his way to becoming an accomplished tyer

[Ken07AOVette]

Junior has a very bright future, you better get him some welding goggles!

[BobLoblaw]

Great stuff, Dace; Jr. knows what he's doing!:)
Some nice ties, but the 'fishiest' one is probably the simplest...

[pikergolf]

Wow very nice!!

[pattycr125]

those look really good, just as good as the ones you get at the tackle store!

[Daceminnow]

thank you everybody for their nice comments from JR. he has read every one and says he has more bugs he'd like me to post pics of. also wants to know who's running the next fly swap and is always eager to tie a dozen or so up!



He's only a young feller too eh? Nice ties

yep. turns 12 this week. we're going big brown hunting with his new stick and some big streamers.

Outstanding craftsmanship, can't imagine the pride you must feel Dace, just getting started tying myself i can honestly say that the kids got some skillz!!

yes sir. what really impresses me is he doesn't need a sample fly sitting by his vise to tie the bug. looks at the fly, spins it around in his hand a couple times and views from all angles. goes down to his vise and sure enough ties one up just as good as the tailor made. usually with some extra flash of some kind.

Nice flies, obviously well on his way to becoming an accomplished tyer

could be scary. no lessons and he's only been tying for a year this past christmas. needed a new vise this christmas as he wore the first one out.


thanks for all your kind words from me too guys. appreciated. there's a lot worse things the young man could be doing with his time.


Dace

[Bhflyfisher]

Great ties! How old is he? Like bobloblaw said, the rubber legged stone nymph is probably the deadliest...

[fish&fry04]

That is talent, especially for his age, he should be so proud of himself!! And you obviously are of him. Good job JR!

[Daceminnow]

here's a few new patterns that JR has spun up in the past couple of weeks.

Really like the princes. Nice job!

had to be in the city today. took JR shopping for some new materials. he's burning up some more sweet prince variations now. will post some up in the next couple days.

Dace

[Alberta Bigbore]

Good job on the flies!!

[densa44]

Now the key is to get them wet as often as possible! You can probably get free materials from some of the AO members if he asks, how about a deer hide? Elk? Duck feathers? Pheasant capes, and tails? go easy on buying stuff, the talent and patience he has can turn flies out of lots of free materials.

don't you worry, we get them wet OFTEN. two of his patterns out fished anything else we threw this morning again. he'll be tying more of those two bugs for sure. i don't mind spending a few dollars here and there to keep him busy with his hobby. he started off tying with pillow feathers, q-tip ends, mom's yarn and a #8 snell. i feel i owe it to him now. he's creative and enjoys tying. his patterns catch and we both enjoy fishing them so it's a big win, win for us both.

JR has been tying a wack of dries this week getting ready for the opening and replacing patterns that have been getting eaten. will post some pics when there's a good variety ready.

Dace

[El Pescador]

Very nice flies! You both should be proud.

I can see some interesting and effective new patterns created by him in the not too distant future.

[Daceminnow]

the boy has been in streamer mode the last couple of weeks. thought i'd post up some pics of a few he's recently tied.

[Speckle55]

Wow ..i want the 4th one:47b20s0: .. lol .. great job Dace Jr .. have fun

Thanks for sharing

David:)

[jrs]

Great looking flies, great choice of colors. A few of those would be perfect for a few brown trout streams i know of.

[BobLoblaw]

http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd450/daceminnow/image_zps7247bf9a.jpg


They all look "fishy", but I really like this one.:47b20s0:

[greylynx]

I wish I could tie fllies like those.

Must be a pretty talented kid.

[burningfreak]

I've just got into tying myself. It requires much more patience then I first thought. Those all look like very good ties to me. Great attention to detail!

sad to see you leave. this guy gave a great big box of tying material to JR he no longer had a need for. good dude.

i'm sure you can lynx. i agree he's gifted and has a lot of years behind the vise ahead of him.

thanks everyone for the comments, be assured he checks in and reads them all.
