johnnyquahog 0 Report post Posted February 2 I believe the Mustad 9671 is or was the 2xl and the 9672 was the 3xl. Now that Mustad has reconfigured labeling and upgraded manufacturing this model must be caught in the middle. Not a 4xl to my old eyes. oh - and I thought it was considered a nymph, maybe woolybugger hook. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SalarMan 0 Report post Posted February 2 I agree with johnnyquahog 100% on the old Mustad specs for those 2 nymph hook models. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poopdeck 0 Report post Posted February 2 My first popper painted with my airbrush. I couldn’t get a good picture showing the color graduations but it’s there along with a mesh pattern on top that you also can’t see. I think I have to learn some color theory or something. I also had a brain fart and thought I was poking the hook hole out bottom of the popper head. Of course I didn’t realize this until after the super glue dried. Oh well maybe I’ll like it this way but I’m guessing it won’t matter. Hook - Ahrex 610 predator trout hook, size 1 Head - Double barrel popper head Thread - Flo green UTC 140 Tail - Yellow maribou, Krystal flash, yellow and chartreuse dyed wooly bugger hackle Collar - Fluffy end of wooly bugger hackle Legs - Medium round rubber legs, yellow Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flytire 0 Report post Posted February 4 okay back to february flies of the month Silver Knight Streamer Hook - Mustad 79580, size 6 Thread - Black Tail - Golden pheasant tippets Rear Half of Body - Flat silver tinsel Front Half of Body - Red wool Rib - Flat silver tinsel Hackle - Black Wing - Bronze mallard flank feather This classic Scottish pattern is basically the same fly as the Peter Ross, with the replacement of the teal wing with one of the barred bronze mallard flank feather. The fly is closely related to the Teal and Red. It is derived from a centuries old pattern known as Franck’s Glittering Fly. The pattern, tied in various sizes, imitates small minnows, and is effective on all trout species.
