Thanks!

It is in the wrong forum though, it just caught a bass on its maiden voyage... smile.png

 

Nah. Snook would definitely take that.

First tie with Congo Hair. It is not exactly like EP, but I can't put my finger on it yet.

The pure white is EP. Seems slightly more straight.

Looks good bimini!

I kinda copied my own with a little white ep and colors of bucktail from my snook jigs. I threw in a couple feathers in there too. I did this one in a n Owner ssw 5115-101. Size 1

it's sticky sharp.

I'd love to get a snook in fly this season. Culverts on the caloosa should be pumping soon and that'll draw them close. and allow me to avoid the spillway crowd.

Hey Joe! What's up with the tail feathers on your mullet? It's hard to tell but it looks 3 d. Do you have feathers interlocked somehow?

I stacked 4 hen cape feathers. I want them to flutter and simulate a moving tail. They are curved in and not splayed.

Ok, so feather on both sides, then top and bottom all curving inward.

thanks!

 

Good to know Cory. I noticed right away they were sharper than my Mustads.

Pretty much, except just on the sides. So its two on each side but I did tie one hackle on each side slightly higher to mimic the top and bottom fin of a tail

 

Cory, thank you!
