smalliestalker 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2011 These are a bucktail/hackle feather pattern that I have used for sometime with great success. They are tied Clouser style with lead eyes, and have hackle feathers in the tail much like a half and half. The bucktail is tied in hollow style to create a little more profile. The Fly Lipp is placed on the opposite side of the eyes so the fly wobbles and rises to the surface when stripped in. Since my smallie flies usually take a beating, the heads are finished with Clear Cure Goo and nail polish. There are closeups on my blog.. www.gotbronze.blogspot.com Enjoy...

flyderaght 0 Report post Posted February 21, 2011 very nice-I would suggest they would work very well on the west coast salmon. coho,pinks,chum and even chinook would go ballistic. nicely done. marc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
