wildwilly 0 Report post Posted August 1 Was intrigued by Dave Hise's video of a streamer using a Mini Dragon Tail so bought materials and tied the pictured flies. Haven't got them wet yet but think bass in my local park pond will like them. They are tied on a stainless hook so might also be used for baby tarpon. What'cha think Capt. LeMay?

cencalfly 0 Report post Posted August 1 This one was inspired by a big black Stonefly that landed on my arm while I was eating breakfast on the Patio of JJ’s in Old Station/Hat Creek (pic below of the bug). Also inspired by a grab I got while dead drifting a Bitch Creek on the Merced River. At the end of the drift the fly started its arc. As it hit the end of its arc got a great grab and fish. So why not tie a Spey and swing it through. A little rugged but it will fish. Pointers or advice is always welcome. Salmonfly Spey: Hook: Blue Heron #1 Rib: flat copper tinsel and oval silver (oval to lock in hackle) Body: 3/4 - blend fl orange seal, burnt orange wool, and black SLF; 1/4 black SLF Hackle: natural black Rooster Coque (tied butt first and counter wrapped) Collar: fl orange Chinese hen, Small dub ball of black SLF, Teal flank Wing: Bronze Mallard Head: built up fire orange and black thread.

wildwilly 0 Report post Posted August 2 Capt LeMay, Tied on an Ahrex SA250 size 2 which has a slight curve so that the snaffle holds the tail at a nice angle. Right now I'm a full time caregiver for my wife but some day I hope I can come fish with you. Bill Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
