mvendon 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2023 BABBS GHOST Hook: Martinek's size 6 8X long streamer Body: Black floss with flat silver tinsel ribbing Throat: Sparse white bucktail as long as the wing Wing: First layer-- A few strands of peacock herl Second layer-- Sparse dyed blue bucktail Third layer-- Sparse dyed red bucktail Fourth layer-- Sparse dyed yellow bucktail Topped with four blue dun / dun saddle hackles Shoulder: Silver pheasant with jungle cock In 1960, George and Helen Babb of Alton Bay shop asked the late Jim Warner to tie a Gray Ghost and to add the three primary colors to it. The fly evolved and was a great success, especially when the bucktail became all mixed up. I can add that it's not that easy to tie in smaller sizes and the bucktail looks like its mixed, even though it is layered and centered when I tied it in.

I have several that are in various stages of completion where I just stopped, since I didn't like the way it was coming out. Everyone here has been submitting really nice looking ties lately and quite a few streamer patterns to boot. Regards, Mark Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
