April Flies From The Vice!

Recommended Posts

So, I watched Tim Cammisa's tying vid of a Black Ghost variant. I went to have a go at one myself, and didn't have any white Marabou. I did have white zonker strips, so, I came up with my own variant biggrin.png

 

 

 

It's on a size 10 2xl hook. I used a strand of holographic flashabou for the rib

Wavey,

 

Loved the use of the holo flashabou for the ribbing; great variation!

Small silver oval tinsel for tag.

Medium silver oval tinsel for rib

Used blackfloss to build up body

Large silver tinsel wrapped from head to the back and than forward to the head

Black marabou for hackle

Black/White guinea fowl for collar

Bronze mallard for wing (2 slips on each side)

 

Forgot to tie in a tail, would have used golden pheasant cresent .

I think that is my 12th spey fly I ever tied, easy to tie for the most part but hard to make look nice.

 

Thanks for the compliment easternfly

Its not new but I am tying them. This is simply the best trout producing fly I have ever used in my life. Lakes, rivers, streams does not matter smile.png Started tying it about 7 years ago. Gave one to a buddy to use one day and he started calling it "the gooly" after my last name Gould. since then its just been the go to fly in almost any and all situations.

Those pics are ok. Make sure you use a macro setting if your camera has one and try putting a neutral background so the camera pics out your fly.

That would have been a nice fly for my spey swap. Did you know I lost a guy? So I need a replacement, if your interested.
