cphubert 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2023 Albino Alevin variant originated by Hugh Storey. I am a confessed streamer / baitfish junkie and gleamed this pattern to replace my usual alevin fly pattern. Come on spring! hook- octopus style thread -mono sewing, body (pretied on pin in vise) mixed Krystal flash and white super hair sparse to form tail fin and UV glued for durability, secured to hook and folded back to form dorsal fin. egg sack- egg yarn, 3-d eyes glued in place. from Contemporary Fly Patterns of British Columbia (Art Lingren) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted March 14, 2023 The plastic beads are not heavey but not really float. They are kinda like Clouser neutrals. The flash/bug eyes not weight was the intention. Mono weedgaurds. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chugbug27 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2023 Alright, a nice evening! Third of the trio - Grouse & Orange Mustad 3906 #12, hot orange Pearsall's Gossamer, grouse covert(*) hackle, and hares ear thorax. (My grouse is from a 30 year old loose feather pack... I bought a proper pair of Veniard wings from England a few days ago to use them for these, but I'm impatient.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
