That is MONEY! Really great tie man. That is a great taper, and a really nice looking lateral line from the silver tubing! I am impressed.

Troutguy,

That's killer! That would be perfect around here as a Shad immitation

How about a short & sweet SBS?

Troutguy..awesome baitfish.

 

I was playing with materials last night. Went and tested some in a canal. The first is a deer hair head popper that has a good pop. The second was just something I threw together. A slow sinking baitfish looking thing. Also has good action in the water. The last was my first attempt at a parachute doo dad thing, like I've been seeing here. I only casted them a few times then changed flies. I believe they'll work.

Troutguy,

Great looking fly.

Is that silicone to make the taper?

Nice!

This would be a great shad pattern among other things.

Remove rope from Mylar tubing. Thread hook as shown. Now put one drop super glue and start thread near eye of hook. Tie long fibers top and bottom then tie shorter fibers top and bottom. Trim to shape. Fly is thin like Alewife. I haven't seen others like this. I have used it for over a decade. It is very simple.

This is the closest thing I have seen by Mark Tracy.

Yours would have much more movement because of the materials.

Thx. What's the head material you are using?

Back from vacation and setting up the vice again! Here are some small silver grey hairwings that I'll bring up to northern Norway very soon... small rivers, SH rods, floating line and salmon hunting!

Mike I am just using the craft fur and trimming it. Any fairly fine textured synthetic works. The Zap a gap or superglue that is used to attach eyes helps shape the head I guess. I press my forefinger and thumb on each eye compressing the fur.
