Very simple and a great starter fly. I use pink thread, you could use white, but I think Pink looks nicer In this case I am using a Gamakatsu Siwash #8 Take a pink Ostrich plume and select the amount you want for the tail and tie it in... again... same length as the shank... Tie in a piece of clear lava lace and a piece of copper wire... the larva lace is optional but does make a more durable fly... Wind the larva lace forward to form the body and then rib it with the copper wire... Tie in a bunch of marabou (Include the stem for floatation as Craig suggests). The wing should extend to about half way down the tail for best action. Whip finish, cement and enjoy... Nice simple fly that can produce sensational results when conventional anglers are struggling for solutions.... |
