Another Musky fly! Had fun with this one. Articulating pattern made up on the fly! (pardon the pun lol)

Will definitively catch fish. The color choice is great.

 

Only to points. I personally have gone to 5/0 minimum hooks min cause I get better hook ups. I would be concerned with trying to get 30 pound flouro or wire through the hook eye, when it's 20 degrees out and i cant hardly move my fingers.

After I took the picture of the pretty completed fly I cleared it out around the eye. Its a bit@h when you tie a big fly like that, get to the front and you are encroaching on the eye.

 

Those are two 4/0 hooks. Generally I use 5/0 and 6/0 but ran out . The rear hook has no bucktail to increase hook up chances back there. The front has a fair amount but is still soft so I dont think will be an issue.

What do you use for your articulation points?

I prefer using wire for Musky and even then Ive seen flies bit in half. I have also used 50-80lb hard mono or fluoro. If you want the "good" stuff for musky flies look up Surflon Micro Supreme wire.

I really like that fly. Those are great looking eyes.

Thanks! They are deer creek gator eyez. Seem to match the fly well and have lots of flash!
