Bummer - I'm fresh out of dried eel skin...

 

Yea me too. I wouldnt even know were to buy that..

 

Probably because of my age, but I remember when "eel skin" was a slang term for a certain item of birth control. Pink ones make a great worm fly.

OK I have come up with what I am going to change. I am changing the eel skin to nymph skin

 

Hook size 18

Gray hackle fibers tied spread as a tail

Gray tying thread for the abdomen

Gray nymph skin to cover the thorax

Gray dubbing as thorax

 

Name: nymph skin nymph (I'm not that creative )

I don't know about creative, but your fly's name certainly describes the beast.

grizzly parachute hackle

Gray dubbing as thorax

 

ok I am going to change the nymph skin to a grizzly parachute hackle and I am going to call it the bluegill grey emerger

From nymph to emerger. Very nice! Kudus to you for the speed of your mutation. What will you be using as a post material?

A Pink Parachute Indicator Post is a truly amazing new appendage! I have no trouble accepting this as a necessary adaptation for the newly-evolved parachute hackle. But I worry what future transformations might do to this innocent protuberance! (You don't think this has anything to do with professori's scandalous pink eel skin do you?)

I had to figure that all nymphs eventually evolved into dry flies

Since several of you soon may have your flies ready for shipping please note: You do not need to toe-tag your flies for this swap.

I just hope if he plans on getting it wet he puts his eel skin on the pink post :hyst: :devil:

My Pattern is:

 

hooks size 14

gray hackle fibers

gray tying thread (can i use dubbing I don't have gray thread)

Grizzly parachute hackle

Gray dubbing as thorax

 

NAME: The gray Wonder

[rockworm 0]

14

 

In my opinion dubbing would be better than thread for a dry fly as big as #14. What are you using for the post?
