Great thing about this fly is, with all the foam for buoyancy, you don’t need to use your best hackle (the grizzly was a webby saddle which, while not adding much to floatation, looks pretty buggy). hook - Dai Riki 730 #8 thread - Uni 6/0 tan tag - Orvis saltwater thread fluoro orange/resin tail - deer hair rib - xsmall wire gold abdomen - Starburst dubbing tan body hackle - ginger (undersize by 2) overbody/head - 2mm foam tan underwing - Congo Hair shiner tan wing - deer hair indicator - Parapost yarn hot orange thorax - Ice Dub hot orange legs - medium rubber cornsnake hackle - grizzly Regards, Scott Loving this style of patterns- my personal terrestrial box is way out of date- and needing some of these.

My setup is very basic - a 15yr old Canon Powershot SD750 point-and-shoot that appears to have a decent macro, an Ott light + 2 clamp-on lights (LED), and a piece of grey craft foam as a background.

partsman 0 Report post Posted May 26, 2022 Chugbug27, very nice tie, I’m wondering did you use the orange silk as tying thread and tie in the body threads at the back of the hook? I’ve got to try a few these! Thanks, Mike, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
