Can Someone help me with what this is

[Skip48 0]

I tied some flies for a customer the other day and one I came up with is this one pictured, but have no idea what it should be called and would love to have a name for it and I suspect it's been done before so hope someone here can add it's name.

 

It's tied on a #12 Daiichi I think it was #1167. I used Lateral scale with UV Glue over for the body and some soft hackle Coq De Leon Laced hackle for the collar which I also got into the glue before curing it. It was a different step for that part. Also the tail is Chickabou from the same skin.

Wow no one has any info from me? I feel pretty sure I have not invented anything!

Skip, I can't say I've ever seen that particular fly before, so perhaps it is something new. However, I've made soft hackles with epoxy bodies for use by ice anglers that are very similar, so the style is not entirely new. As far a name, hey, it's your fly, call it what you like!

 

If by chance someone else has done exactly the same, it would not be the first time two flies of the same design got called different names. There's always that chance with as many folks as there are tying flies these days.

 

If you later find that there is another of the same fly that has been created prior to your's, then just give credit where it's due.

Okay thank you! I will always give credit where it should be. I dreamed it up, but just figured someone had done it before and I just didn't know.

 

I appreciate the reply!
