Got another Alaskabou Fly tied up

 

This one is a #6 Volcano

 

imgp0486f.jpg

 

Size 6 Daiichi 2441

Black 8/0 Uni

Small Gold Mylar Tinsel

Orange Flashbou + Pearl Krystal Flash (two layers)

Red Marabou + Pearl Krystal Flash with another layer of Red Marabou

UV Resin

 

Didn't do a great job on the head. Didn't leave enough room.

 

These flies are mainly for fishing salmon in Alaska but I don't see why Atlantic Salmon and Steelies won't go for them :)

 

Thanks for the comments lykos33 :)

*SCULPIN CLOUSER.

Hook: #8 gamakatsu 4xl

Eyes: Here nickle plated, should be gold.Medium I think :unsure:

Thread: Tan 6/0

Wing: Olive bucktail, Pearl krystal flash, and red fox squirrel tail.

 

This is fly pattern I got from a Dick Talluer book I checked out from the library.

The eyes should be gold. The book called for tan craft fur, but I have substituted with Olive bucktail.

The pearl krystal flash is supposed to be gold spirit river spectra flash.

 

I plan to use this fly more in the spring for smallmouth bass and cutties.

 

*note, The dinosuar is a lamp, who by the way has been my fly tying buddy since grade school. B)

 

Thanx.

Here's one I call a MCStone. Round Larva Lace body with clack pheasant wing case and legs. Egg is McFly Foam. I build up the thorax a little with black bunny fur to support the wing case.
