7wt 0 Report post Posted November 15, 2005 Thanks for the feedback guys, the head is a buildup of ultra thread 70 with vinyl eyes stuck too it then epoxied. The body is hologram tinsel, the underwing is buck tail and the overwing is a couple of different saddle hackles light to dark. That particular fly was tied on an Owner light Mutu hook.

dead_horse_bay_fisher 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2005 The picture is great. I like the look and would like to tie this myself. Questions: What size and type of hook? How do you fish this? I'm trying like h... to get in another trip to my favorite bay. I'd like to try this one on the schoolies. dc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
7wt 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2005 dead horse, I think that one was a size 6 Owner light Mutu circle hook. I tied it for specks but I've found it works better for ladyfish. Early in the morning the ladies are busy crashing small bait balls and all I do is just drop it on the boils and away we go! Man they crash the snot out of 'um. I will be getting two new sinking lines and an extra spool for Christmas this year so I will be fishing these steamers a little deeper than I am now. I hope for even better results!
