JSzymczyk 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2009 Hook: Mustad C52S BLN Thread: 3/0 Monocord, 200 GSP, 6/0 Monocord Weedguard: 25lb Mason mono Tail: olive marabou tied short, with 3 matched pairs of wide saddle hackles tied curving out Skirt: very wide, webby saddle hackle wound to cover thread wraps of tail- about 7 to 10 turns Head: stacked deer hair eyes: 3D hologram eyes cement: Zap-A-Gap, thin flexament, goop Tied in the traditional Whitlock and Helm style. Weedguard and tail materials tied in with Chartreuse 3/0, head stacked with 200 GSP, weedguard secured at front and head finished off with 6/0. Zap-A-Gap used to secure tail materials, flexament applied to belly of fly after trimming to soak in and bond thread and hair to the hook shank. Goop used to secure eyes to the deer hair head. If this is all done well, the fly is amazingly durable. Rough trim with scissors, fine shape with a new double edge razor blade. Razor off a flat spot on each side for gluing on the eyes. Brassie-type hair packer and GSP thread are indispensable for deer-hair work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
letumgo 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2009 Excellent deerhair topwater pattern! I like the profile of the head. Looks like it would create a nice disturbance when it is stripped in. Beautiful tying, JSzymczyk. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
