February Flies From the Bench

Recommended Posts

Cream, the red on that tail's end, colored with dye or actually tied-on red material?

Nice fly btw.

 

Spun a little hot orange deer hair on the tip of the zonker strip.

Warmer weather here in north Texas have me thinking spring bass. Tied some crawfish for the spring Reel Recovery event. Really hope they work in the private pond we take the participants to.

It's not pretty, but my goal this year is to conquer the parachute dry fly. Here's a first attempt from last night.

Hi Noten

 

Great fly and great first attempt. Proportions look good. you will get comments about the hackle but I would fish that in a flash and it will catch!!! I basically only use parachute flies now as they seem to work all day

 

Cheers

Surf candies retro style freshwater and one estuary

These are really just a minnow pattern

Redfin perch love them ..... I am hoping the bass do.

I'm going to steal that carp bug and slay carp with it. It's on my list.

 

 

LOL sweet. Its very simple.

 

#6 SL45 or equivalent

Pheasant Rump for the tail

pheasant tail wrapped about 1/2 up the shank with wire rib

peacock ice dub or equivalent (spirit river here)

palmered pheasant rump

more dubbing over the eyes.

 

I use large beadchain and some lead wire as well. That is because the river is sorta fast here where the carp are. Gotta get them down, and quickly.
