I have just started tying trebles and this is my progression:

Nice job!  Good work like that must take some time!

Gary

Here is another color group...

I don't have a specific feather type that I like.  It's more like what will work the best!

And two more color groups!

Please Check Out The Baghdad School of Flyfishing

Thanks Kelley!  I am learning.  So far I have tied about 30 trebles.  Here is another color group...

The pic isn't so good, but the hackle color is olive green.

This is the current color group I am tying...

The hackle is a light brown with dark highlights.  The pic doesn't do it justice!

Hey Pete---- That is excellent work, looks like you are a master tier! How long have you been tying? What are the names of your Patterns? Keep up the great work!   They should work great when you get out with that new motor!!

Good luck good fishin and God Bless.

Thanks for the complements!  I only started tying trebles this winter.  I am working my way to tying flies...I have a long way to go!

I don't know what this pattern is called, so I'll call it: catch fish!  I hope in a week or two to tye a "custom" set of five hooks, each a different size.  I'll post pics when I am done...

Dan,

when you are starting out, take pics at each step of building your treble, then post here.  That way it is easier for those that like to "teach" to do so, they see your actual steps.  Believe me, it helps!  Good luck and I look forwad to see your progress!

Thanks Pete, Good idea. These are some that some day I hope I can tie.

Lookin Good Pete!!!!!!!!!! keep up the good work. Lou

This is my last color group for LaCrosse...

My next project will be a custom set (5 different sizes)...Perhaps two!

I have started tying the 5 treble set.  I am using a single red hackle, white bucktail and crystal flash.

Chris, when I am finished with this set, I'll start on some for us to trade.  Do you want them like the red hackle one I tied in previous pic (that is a double hackle)?  Anyway, I am having fun!

Hey lookin good Turnip,  be sure to cook up some yellow ones to attach to gold spinners or spoons for the Lk Camplain pike troll.  Best luck has been on gold w/ yellow stuff so far... think it looks like the perch.

This is my donation for a door prize at this years LaCrosse member meet:

Who ever is the lucky person, good luck!  Now, whats next...

Nice work Petey......i still like the white/pink/yellow one the bestest (lololol)

"Now, whats next..."

If you'd tell me, then I would know - rrrrrrrrrright? (lololololol)

This is the group I tyed for the Ohio meet:

I don't know how much showin' ya musky I'll be doing as Cheri is a lot more experienced than me.  But I will gladly show you how to dress a treble!

This my most receint work...

I tried something new this time, I used marabou instead of hackle (bottom two on right hand side).  The one in the bottom row, left end, is pink bucktail with purple super hair.  All them have flashabou (sp).

OK Pete. Ya mighta got me hooked. I might want to try tying on some small trebles. Bring some stuff to LaCrosse to show me what I need and how to do it.

This is a new group I tyed receintly:

Cheri, the blue one is the marabou...

Chris, this is a marabou with white bucktail on a size 6 treble:

I just tied this one tonight.  The marabou is supposed to be red but it looks more pink to me...There is flash a bou strips also.  I am going to start the red hackle with bucktail.  You need to let me know how many you want.

This is my latest work:

This is a new batch I've been working on:

From another angle:

Here are two more:

Great looking lures Pete. If'n dey don't catch fish, I don't know what will. Way to go!! God Bless
Fishnhunt

Here are a few that I just finished up...

You're right, Trev.  I am having fun!  And it seems that I learn a new trick almost everytime I sit down and tie...Here is a new set I just completed:

I am looking forward to tying some spinner baits with ya Trev!  Dave is sending thirty out for us to try and I am bringing a few along also...Tom is bringing his tying gear along too.  It should be great fun!

Ok, but you gotta bring the nuts!

This is another special set...

Those are some really nice lookin trebles, that hard work is sure to pay off. After you have fished them please let us know what color combo works the best. I think the black and white with the red in it would work anywhere. THANKS for sharing

Here are a few more I have just finished up.  The treble is a size 6...

And here are two more that go with the three above:

hi guys. i was just wondering if you could make a basic list of the items i would need to start tying trebles. im on a tight budget so it would also be nice if u could tell me a price(doesnt have to be exact anything will help.) i just really want to start doing this and try it out but dont know exactly what i need. so far it looks like feathers and such, thread, bobbin, vice. what else would i need?

Thanks alot,

Dan

Hey Pete,

        Can you try some black  with maybe silver flash  or white flash  on bleeding red hooks and  red with silver or gold flash ,  also on the Chart. hooks  black with chart. flash. Just the frilly stuff no feathers

  I'll pay ya for em when ya done

   tom

I have received some feedback from the field.  What I have been tying does not work so well for top water.  This my first attempt at top water:

This is a size 6 hook with red marabou, a small amount of white bucktail and a little krystal flash.  I think this type of feather will work better than hackle.  This should also allow the lure to work as it should...I am sending this one out in the field for testing.

Yes  that looks like the ticket right there , now if you could do up some in the aforementioned color combos on bleeding red hooks for the likes of slash baits , and top water poppers , zara spook type lures . I would be glad to field test / purchase them from you.

I am making a new type of lure , I call it the new voe frog , it is a jointed model and I would like to try your  hooks on it. I am currently putting  the bleeding red and the Chart. trebles on it, the dressing  needs to be somewhat thin and light weight, and no feathers. As mentioned in a previous post , black /with a light flash of silver or white, and  Chart. with a flash of white or gold or all three, and white with a flas of redand silver.  I am testing three of these lure , one in black  with white markings , one in Chart. with white markings, and one white  with red markings

I could even send you a couple of the lures as trade, you could have some fun with dressing them up. And if you don't take them swimming , they would look good hanging on the wall.

Let me know.

        Tom

Ok Tom, I'll take the challenge!  First off, what hook size should I use?  I can get the red hooks but I haven't seen chartrouse (sp) hooks.  Where will I find them?

Secondly, the colors you have chosen and the materials you would like me to use (no feathers)...Do you want me to use krystal flash to make the colors, like the white one posted above (several pics above)?  The frilly stuff you speak of is marabou, feathers...

Third, I am in the middle of tying some trebles for the Finger Lakes Meet and one for a birthday present.  If I have time before I leave I will try to start yours (you are next on the list).  I leave on the 6th and won't return until the 14th.  I will be home until the 26th which is when I leave for the Raystown Meet.  I will return on the 28th.  After that I am wide open!

Hey Pete,

      Take your time no rush , it can wait till you get back. I have to get the new batch of lures made up. BTW you will be the only one on the planet besides me to have a set of these lures. Have you got any colors in mind that you want. Keep in mind that all my stuff is hand painted, so I don't /can't do any of the holographic stuff. I will send you the Chart. hooks . I'm not sure of the size I want yet, I will get back to on that.  Enjoy the meet, wish I was going .

   tom

Ok Tom.  That takes the pressure off!  Use your best judgment for color...In other words, If you were going to use it, what color would you make it.

Hey Pete ,

  I meant for you to use the same stuuf as used in the red/white top water example you posted the picture of.  And to clear it up here is the color combos once again.

red hook-- black as main color/ white/ and silver or gold, the silver or gold needs to be just a light presence, just enough to to add flash.

red hook-- white as main color with red/ and silver

Chart. hooks--chart. as main color with white / silver or gold as flash.

If you can match the wrap thread to the main color , if not then just use black.

Give me a holler when you get back.

 tom

This is some of what I tied for the Finger Lakes Meet:

Tom, here is a proto type of one of the patterns you asked me to make...I hope this is what you are looking for!

These are two views of the same treble...

Please let me know if I need to make a change!  These are #6 red hook, white marabou and red and silver krystal flash...

Yes sir that is it , maybe just a touch more maribu, but that is the look  I want, also the same thing on the other color combos and chart hooks.    And I will be sending more Chart. hooks for you to use on me and you , I found a new source for them.  

 Okay  on 3 sets of  #4 and #6  red hooks  black maribu body, just a hint of red and silver flash.

And then  3 sets of  #4 and #6  Chart. hooks  Chart. maribu, with just a hint of  red and gold flash ( or silver  which ever you have

And on 3 sets of # 4 and #6  red hooks  White maribu with just a hint of red and silver flash

On your lures when I make them, do you want me to hang hooks on them , or do you want to experimant with your own combos based on the colors I paint them?

   tight lines

         Tom

Tom, I received the hooks today.  Tomorrow morning I head for the Raystown Meet so I'll start to work when I get back (Sunday).

okeedokee, more hooks on the way.

   tom

Tom, here is one of the color groups you requested:

So far so good??

Pete ,

Was there supposed to be an attachment with that last post ?

    tom

No Tom, I just wanted you to look at this last picture group.  I added more white marabou as requested.  This is one of your color groups and I need the OK before I will go on to the next color group...

I likes it lots. On the chert  group maybe a little more red and silver or gold same for the black group

  tom

I received the second batch of hooks today, Tom.

Tom, here is your second color group!

Are we still ok for color combonations??

Yuppers ! i's liken  them lots.

   Tom

Ok Tom, this is the last color group that you asked for...

And this is the entire group:

Now what?!

They look good !

If you would like to do up a set of fire tiger ones that would be great also , either way I quess send them to me . I have yet to get started on the lures as I have been down for almost three weeks with some kind of flu bug . They won't take me long to make once I get started though.  Also If you want me to afix some of these to the lures I'll make for you then do up the colors you like and I will try to match the paint to them .

They look really good Pete  thanks.

  tom

I'll see what kind of color combos for fire tiger I can come up with...green, chartrouse, yellow, red...I shall see.  Sorry to hear about your illness.  Get well my friend!  I'll post whatever ideas I come up with.

Tom, this is my version of "firetiger".  If ya want it I'll send it along.  If not, I have a lure that it will work on!

Two views of the same lure...

sure I'll put it on this lure I have that needs something like this.

Hey Pete,

 Got the package yesterday late. They look better in hand then they do on the screen. You do good work. the lures are a work in progress and will be on their way shortly.

  thanks

             Tom

Ok, thanks Tom!  No rush, take your time...If ya think about it, take a few pics and post them!

Hey Y'all,

      Well I am just getting back on here , when they folks up front changed things again , it shut me off again and now I'm finally getting back on . Will the fun never stop?

Any ways the hooks look great , Pete does an excellant job on them . If any of y'all are interested in them  don't be bashful , they are profesional appearing , you won't be disappointed .

Thanks Pete, can't wait to get them on and fish with them.

  tight line y'all

   tom

Here is half of a custom set I am working on...

These don't need to be completed until spring, but I couldn't resist getting a start on them!

These are some trebles that I just tied for muskygirl's Girl Scouts...

These are a number 4 hook size...Enjoy, girls!

Thanks for the reminder, Frank!  I need to make some for this year...

Here's my first dressed treble. It's a #8 Gamakatsu red color

there is something I like about red hooks I just don't know what!                             

This is what I origanally wanted a fly tying kit for Now I need to get some different colored material so I can add  dressed trebles to the lure bodies that I made last year. 

Very nice, Sam!  BTW, is that peacock hurl I see?

Yup!!!
