Joe Hard 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2005 Cool flies, how many plumes of marabou do you use? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean Juan 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2005 In that fly just one. Kept a healthy space with each wrap so the feather have a chance to breathe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe Hard 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2005 I tried something simmilar, Black hackles and Krystal flash strands, 1/2 body, pearlesent body braid, one plume white and one plume olive marabou. a few strands of red krystal flash for a throat and a clump of black foxtail for the top wing, tied short. I was looking at these flies thinking that a slim grizzly saddle on each side, would complement them well. Do you think it would tangle in the marabou?

Sean Juan 0 Report post Posted February 3, 2005 it wouldn't tangle per se but it would compress and reduce the overall profile - fine for a thinner baitfish - with this pattern I was trying to maximize the profile of a deceiver without having to resort to the traditional Hi -Lo bunches of buctail up the shank.

Joe Hard 0 Report post Posted February 3, 2005 Thats good info, I am new to salt water fly fishing and am very interested as I plan alot of time this summer. I think these flies are great and have many questions? Probaly too many but "if you dont cry you cant be heard". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
