flytire 0 Report post Posted January 26 Blue Sunoco Atlantic Salmon Hook - Single salmon Thread - Glo-Brite #14 blue Tag - Blue wire Tail - Dyed blue guinea fowl Ribbing - Blue wire Body - Tying thread Wing - Dye blue squirrel tail Collar - Yellow hen My grandfather owned a small restaurant in the mill town of Taftville, Connecticut serving the best damn cheeseburgers around. In the basement of his restaurant, he used to make his own liquor/moonshine (1920's 30's) and serve it to his patrons. As my father told me years ago, it got to be known as "Blue Sunoco". Hence the tribute to my grandfather (he passed away long before I was born). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It looked so good in the water to me, but not to the fish, evidently. Wrong time, wrong water, maybe. I should try them again. 1 hour ago, dflanagan said: Version #2 That is a pretty fly. I would love to hear how it fishes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
