SullyTM 0 Report post Posted March 7, 2006 :thumbup: You're killin' me Fred! Have you ever attached a beadhead? Or, is this pattern meant to be fished "just" under the surface...The wiring probably is enough weight... Thanks...Thom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
siestafred 0 Report post Posted March 7, 2006 Here's Version III. Reddish brown, for March Browns, Male Hendricksons, etc. Copper wire rib. Thom, I like to fish it just under. But his year I'm going to experiment with dropping it down as a nymph. I have not tried to add a bead to this, but no reason you couldn't. I've seen other patterns where the bead is used instead of herl, behind the hackle as a thorax. Cheers....Fred Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SullyTM 0 Report post Posted March 7, 2006 Fred...I like the "just" under. I'd suggest a your 3 for my 3 but I won't this time 'round Went down to the "Creek" yesterday with a Siestafred Murky tyed on. :bugeyes: The water was running HIGH AND FAST! Very dangerous! The banks were so muddy I would sink down nearly a foot. So I collected beer cans and bottles. Probably won't be down until the weekend! Maybe! Later...Thom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
appalachian angler (tn.) 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2006 Nice soft hackles! I tie a very similar fly to the yellow pt one you have( and use the yellow pt but omit the herl thorax). It works great during the emergence phase of a good sulphur hatch! AA Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
siestafred 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2006 I'm sure that works great too. The herl just adds (presumably) one more trigger. Only the fish know for sure !! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
appalachian angler (tn.) 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2006 I forgot to add that I put a dubbing looped ball of mixed rabbit hair in to form a small thorax and to flare the collar alittle. AA Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
