Cole 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2009 Looks like a very simple tie, but what is the material? All Flashabou, or wing and flash? Thanks, Cole Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
letumgo 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2009 Looks like a combination of silver, black and pearl flashabou. Edit - It may just be "Salt & Pepper Flashabou" (Salt & Pepper Flashabou) Here is a nice Step-by-step tying sequence for the fly (very simple): http://www.warmwaterflytyer.com/patterns3.asp?page=12 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Feathercraft used to have the recipe for the pattern in their catalog as they seemed to have caught some 30+ different salt species of fish on it after creating it; & without looking in a catalog - remember it wasn't much more than about 30 strands of the Salt & Pepper Flashabou tied in behind the hook eye.

Feathercraft will SELL you a photocopy of a hand written pattern sheet for a buck-fifty. Crazy. This pattern really is nothing more than a tail and wing of flashabou. They say it should be "salt and pepper", but I've had good luck using any number of other colors. All silver, or all silver/holographic are good too.
