tompa 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2008 Hi Here's a fat thunder&lightning that I'm going to use now in april for seatrout in river Ljungan. When i tie flies for seatrout I try to make them fatter and more bushy than the more slim and streamlined salmon versions. The tapering of the wing is still important though and I often use a longer body with more amounts of dubbing to make the wing impression fat. On this fly I have also used the original templedog technique with folded wings. Here's the dressing tag: Gold Lagartun wire and fluo red antron tail: Red fluro fibre Body: 1/2 Lagartun copper flatbraid 1/2 black Lite Brite rib: Gold lagartun wire body hackle: Fluo orange badger front hackle: Teal blue grizzly saddle wing: pearl and root beer krinkle flash, bunch of fierybrown hair, Crayfish orange angelhair, bunch of black hair. Over the wing 3 strands of Peacock krinkle flash sides: JC head: Gold conehead size XS tube: M+ XS FITS Quite simple to tie, I usually massproduce them since spring fishing for seatrout often means sinking lines and bottom snagging. Tight lines //Tompa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
