he Art of Fly Tying - creating a realistic Red Eared Turtle
Realistic red eared turtle
10xl Partridge Carrie Stevens hook and two pieces of tapered Orvis foam strips
Foam colored with markers and tinted flex varnish
Foam segmented up the hook to create the turtles tail
Five pieces of fine brass wire secured to the hook to create the legs
Wires bound together with thread
Two yellow turkey biots are tyed onto each piece of wire,
one piece with the tip cut off and one with the tip remaining to create claws
All five claws are tied and shaped
Thin foam strips are tyed on top as well as underneath to shape the legs Looks ok, the first try is always a challenge
The foam is colored with a marker and coated with a thin layer of flexible varnish
Tying the front claws seemed easier, practice helps
All four legs are secured, and can be bent into position later
The fun begins, detail coloring, using micron markers
The head is shaped with a long strip of chenille. A plastic strip was pulled through the head with a needle, glass beads slid down, plastic melted until it was flush with the beads.
Two strips of colored Swiss Straw are tyed on behind the hook eye
Straw is pulled back and secured with thread
The red ears are colored
The straw is colored with micron markers, and pulled forward, and secured
Straw is pulled back to shape the turtles retractable neck
The shell is made with a thin piece of flat foam
Pattern was cut into the foam with a razor, and flame used to heat and shape the foam
Thread is tied between the legs to begin forming the body
Swiss Straw is wrapped around the thread base.
When applying color, I prefer to use lighter colors over darker base colors
He looks real enough to become lunch
Oh no!
I guess I'll have to tie another one
"" I enjoy creating artistic and realistic insects, many of which are not designed for fishing purposes, instead, simply enjoying the challenge of imitating bugs and striving to make them look as alive as possible. Some of these flies have been acquired by collectors for display, others used for product advertisements, movie props, and some presented as gifts.
