Piker20 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2015 I can see that working for seatrout but not sure its an intruder in the true sense. Its lacking the two or more distinct hackled areas held up with dubbing. The shank in-between remains lightly dressed so the fly appears bulky but isn't and sinks quick. So many flies tied on shanks are now being labelled intruders. We used to call them waddingtons!

ag2748 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2015 This is my remix of the butt monkey, using laser dub instead of chenille and wool. This fly has been so good to me the past few years in SW Montana. I can't wait till run off is over. Full recipe here: https://www.blueprintfly.com/fly/kaXk6x98on89 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wschmitt3 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2015 I.O.B.O Humpy fresh off the bench. Saw the Hans Weilenmann video on you tube the other day, wanted to tie some up. I really like simple patterns. Only had time to tie up four today before the oven timer went off for dinner. Two in size 18 and two in size 16, I'm going to sit down some time tomorrow and tie up a few more in black and a few in natural dun I have some olive CDC I might tie up some with an olive body and a dun hump/wing. They arent perfect but i think they will fish, I left the little loose pieces on the back end, its not how Hans does it in the video but I figure they cant hurt anything.

retrocarp 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2015 Sparkle Butt Bugger variation with ostrich collar for more action. You could also whip finish with bright orange thread to give it a bit of a hot spot. But I am finding the orange thread in my home waters tends to put the fish off, so I stick with black. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
