WWKimba 0 Report post Posted May 17 Corey's Calf Tail - This was created by Ralph Corey of Port Rapids, MI prior to 1929. It has been said that the first Corey Calf tails used a tied down wing and is considered to be one of the first patterns that used hair wings. It can be tied and fished using any color dubbing. First designed as a brook trout pattern, it has been successfully used to catch brown and rainbow trout as well. Hook - Mustad 94840, 8-16 Thread - black Tail - white calf tail Wings -white calf tail, tied as a single, upright wing and forward facing (a modern variation uses calf tail tied upright and divided) Rib - gold wire (gold tinsel may also be substituted), also, the split wing version above replaces the wire with a palmered grizzly and brown hackle combination Body - any color dubbing - the more oft used colors of yellow, red and grey are shown above Hackle - brown Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
