bobfly 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2008 More fishing flies from the book #4 - #12 and a couple of tubes. I`ve used pony(arctic Runner) in preference to Bucktail as the pattern calls for. Should have a little more movement in the smaller sizes. Another fairly simple pattern for your amusement It pays to enlarge the group shot to get a clearer picture Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pallagust 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2008 you sure are a tying machine... Beautiful munroes. Also the longtail version of munreo is great in the autumn here in Iceland. Arctic Runner aka Polar Pony in the USA is an Icelandic Pony hair... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This fly can live up to its name. It will "kill" salmon. To Stevemcn Bucktail is (or was) used primarily on the Brittish isles for this fly, but today softer hair from Artic fox or Temple dog is more widely used. regards Jens Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Steve, Pony hair is a lot finer than Bucktail and quite a bit more mobile which i think is much better in the smaller sizes especially. It also has a transluscency about it that Bucktail doesn`t have. And, Palli, i`m not a machine I have this disease I caught when I was about 13years old called flymania :bugeyes: which happens to be incurable. Only gets worse as you grow a bit older :hyst: Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
