Kudu 0 Report post Posted March 2, 2016 DHD I like that fly. What is it called? Does it swim well? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deerhairdan 0 Report post Posted March 2, 2016 Just a simple articulated zonker streamer. #4 Partridge Attitude Streamer Wire ribbing Ice dub Micro pulsator rabbit tied in at the eye then ribbed 25mm Shank same material/process as above....just use darker shade of ice dub for gill area. 6mm Eyez with resin head. It swims very nicely. I do add some .025 lead free wire to the shank....both to close the annoying gap on the shank, and add some weight to get it down. About 10-14 wraps is plenty.

Chia 0 Report post Posted March 2, 2016 I tied a few Bronze Goddess flies last night. I had issues with the mallard feather, but I think I got it, They should hold together! http://imgur.com/a/2kyyd Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FIN-ITE 34 0 Report post Posted March 2, 2016 I tied a few Bronze Goddess flies last night. I had issues with the mallard feather, but I think I got it, They should hold together! http://imgur.com/a/2kyyd http://www.warmwaterflytyer.com/patterns3.asp?page=33 I don't know if this is the tier that you followed, but notice the instructions for wrapping the mallard flank feather. Make sure you have the feather oriented so that when wrapped the concave side of the feather is facing the hook shank. Fold the feather back as you take touching wraps with the feather and don't try to wrap the thick part of the stem. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnnyquahog 0 Report post Posted March 2, 2016 A few packed and stacked bugs. The middle one is an old classic Whitlock bug with the exception that I did grey, white and black instead of grey black and white face. Can't believe I screwed that part up. Maybe next time.

Fish For Life 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2016 That shrimp looks awesome!!! But will it not just flip upside down? It looks like a regular hook with no keel weight to hold it upright like that. Still looks great thought! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
