That's a nice piece of furniture, bro!

I was looking over my mediocre quality silver pheasant and noticed a few feathers under the wings that are black above the quill and white underneath. There were only 2 or 3 on each side. The webbing between the fibers was very strong so they wouldn't be considered good feathers, but I fascinated by them and convinced that they would look great on a streamer. This is what I came up with. Has anyone noticed and used these particular feathers? I have caught a few bass with this fly and they look amazingly baitfish-like in the water. Hunter

The closest pattern I can find is a crackleback, but like the griffiths gnat it is tied on smaller hook. I am going to try to find some 10x long streamer hooks in size 6 or 4 and try to duplicate this thing from memory. Thanks for your help. Hunter

Last November while fishing for big browns and steelhead near Rochester the guy on the river who caught the most fish was using this fly that I cannot identify or find. Hopefully someone here knows of it. It was built on a size 4 streamer hook 8 or 10x long hook and was basically just wrapped with real smooth dubbing and then wrapped with hackle. If you looked at on one end it was brown, from the other end it flashed tan. It sorta looked like a super-long wooly bugger with no tail. He gave my buddy one of his, but it got lost. It isn't a bivisible. Does anybody know what this thing is? Thanks for your help. Hunter
