RoyalWulff 0 Report post Posted September 23, 2009 Ive always liked this pattern, tied both with light floss and darker floss. You have tied a very very nice head on that fly, beautiful. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ibian 0 Report post Posted September 23, 2009 I've been tying them all week, now I'll change colors thanks. I did some of the originals with silver tinsel then noticed that it requires gold. Does it make a difference? The double hook is really nice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does it make a difference? The double hook is really nice. I don't think the fish care whether the tinsel is gold or silver. Thank you all for the nice comments. I think all of the Rat series were meant to be tied on double hooks. I do know that Poul Jorgensen designed this flavor of Rat to be tied on a double for Icelandic salmon.

Denis Lamy 0 Report post Posted September 23, 2009 Very beautiful fly, thanks for sharing. I prefer single hook myself, but I do tie a few on doubles. This will be one of them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Hat 0 Report post Posted September 25, 2009 Beautifully done TroutBum. The double just fits this pattern. Charlaine - you have to be careful about posting pictures of furry little mammals on a fly tying website. :shifty: What is Remmy wearing? Looks like a dark dun in color.
