Li'lDave 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2016 I tried to quote you guys. Yeah a Ring burner. Can't think of the origin of the name, but probably has something to do with the orange colour. It's essentially an orange CI (Christmas Island) Special bonefish pattern that uses either arctic fox or finn raccoon in this instance. I think it was developed / tweaked originally by a mate of mine who ties commercially. Will do some more research to see if I can find out the origin of the name.

retrocarp 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2016 I was thinking that fly cost so much to make that the Wife decided to "burn" her wedding ring and melt it down. Or, as Flafly suggested, it'll burn going in and coming out, like Mexican food. What does "ring burner" mean in fly tying jargon? Or is it salt water jargon. ive never heard it in saltwater talk however it looks like a bonefish fly and they are known as burners. Could it be it's a hot bite ?

Goose77 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2016 Eide, those are good looking flies. Flytire, that is a cool idea, and I'd bet it sinks more quickly than the original...with a resin head it might be like a jig. Nice work you guys. Cheers, Ed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikechell 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2016 I've been told that "wee willy wigglers" were getting fish ... so I pulled out the tying gear to try to tie some. I don't have the materials. I do have the tail material (cut some before leaving Florida) ... but I think they're tied on much smaller hooks. And the bead I have don't fit ... Anyway ... I tried to tie something that might work similarly. Here's the result. Hopefully, I'll get some more time to tie before fishing on Saturday. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikechell 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2016 Looks like Richmc and I will get a little fishing in tomorrow morning. I'll fish his way if he catches a fish before I do. But I am going to try some stuff I brought along, too. Tying flies with what I brought ... maybe some pearl minnows will catch a few. If you're interested ... I did a little SBS, too.
