TheCream 0 Report post Posted July 5, 2013 I saw on Pat Cohen's site that he ties one version of a slider with a sleek, streamlined body/head. I wanted to try that out for myself so I cranked one out. This was my first attempt, on a #1 Mustad 37187. The tail is a dull green/yellow marabou with some holographic Flashabou and Krystal Flash. The body is yellow/orange deer hair on the belly and olive with brown barring on the back. I like the brown barring against olive for the subtle look, I think it looks a little more natural than bold black barring. This was also my first bug using Ultra GSP 210 denier thread, that stuff is strong! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bad fish rising 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2013 awesome hair work! I use a fly that I also copied the shape of pats slider but I cut it on a little more angle on front so it dips under water just a little. also I added a skin side up rabbit tail & lots of long flash on top of that behind the marabou tail. on the 1st swim a big pike sheared through 12lb maxima on the bite using a sucker colored bug Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
