I have tied this fly a few times. Don't think I've ever fished it. Hoping to try this one out soon . . . if we can get rid of this snow. Looks to be at least 15 inches thus far today. This is a Tom Nixon pattern. Not very fancy. I substituted a few materials.
Tail - Red goose wing feathers fibers.
Body - Rear half, silver embossed tinsel. Front half, yellow chenille with yellow saddle hackle wound over it.
Wing - Natural brown buck tail topped with yellow buck tail.
Shoulder - Jungle cock.
Head - Black with red and white eyes.
Hook - #2, #4, #6, 4X long.
I've tied up about 80 flies over the past 8 days. Lots of snow in the forecast today. Got my truck stuck in the driveway and street this morning. Four wheel drive is not functioning. At least it drives.
That fun winter is headed my way. Woo hoo!
ReplyDeleteI like this fly, looks like a good attractor.
