You couldn't have picked a better name for this fly! It just screams "Bite Me". I like this one a LOT. :punk:

Holy crap. Very nice fly. But that's a whole lot of trimming around all that rubber. I would have stacked it and then run the rubber through after trimming, but that's due to a lack of fortitude and knowledge that I would end up cutting off half of the rubber trying to get the hair. I really like the yellow/orange combo with the black head. Nice work.

that is insanely cool!

 

I second the intense work trimming with all that rubber, nerves of steel to do all that. Result is very cool.

 

Now you have done it, you gonna make me tie one of those..

 

Would be nice fore large mouth too.

Thanks guys.

Yeah, I confess that I cut off 3 legs during the process

muttering as I went. Happens more often with rubber legs than I

would like.lol

spin/stack/trim the deerhair first, then thread the rubber legs through with a needle. Take some small monofilament (4lb test or so) and make a loop through the eye of the needle. Drop of Zap-a-Gap in the needle's eye to hold mono in place, then slice off the tag ends flush with a razor to there is nothing to snag. Push the needle through, thread your rubber legs through the mono loop, and pull them through the body.

or, just pull them out of the way when trimming, a la Chris Helm, then reposition them after.

Deeky took the words out of my mouth, I didn't know if I could write that on this forum but the first words that came to my mind were Holy Crap! I kid you not.

Awesome looking fly, it they don't want to eat it, they'll surely want to hump it!

Brown trout in the dark....... that is all I think about when I look at this fly! Beautiful and well done...

That is a nice fly, beautiful work.

 

I'd say just spin one section of the hair, then trim it, then tie the rubber legs ahead of it, then spin another section of deer hair, then more rubber legs, and just continue doing that 'till you are at the eye of the hook, greatly solves the problem with cutting the rubber.

Thanks for all the good words.

It would make it easier to trim each

section of deer hair as I go.

Have to remember that one.
