shep 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2005 Hi Everyone, This pattern is based on the Hammel's Killer pattern but I've ommited the hair underwing and added a mallard flank hackle throughout the body. The proportions may be a bit off. This vesion was tied fairly small (size 10) and I hope it will mimic either a XXL scud or a small molting crayfish. It might work in high water and might prove to be a good fall steelie pattern. I'm going to try tying a few more in the natural colours as well to try to fool some stillwater trout. Hope you like it. Cheers, Shep Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fishyfranky 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2005 Nice tie. Good idea with the mallard flank and definitely a hot green trout pattern I've also got some pheasant rump that might make a good palmer on that pattern. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shep 0 Report post Posted January 10, 2005 Thanks everyone. The original HK worked really well for me this past season on a number of different species... including bass. Cheers, Shep Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
