RickZieger 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2017 Found this fly in an old Magazine. Called Dr. Mike started as a Steelhead fly abdomen in dubbing loop. speckled feather for hackle, peacock thorax, bead head. Changed colors for warmwater. Have caught fish on the green, red, and yellow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2017 Still working on restocking the boxes for this year. Just doing some simple buggers with a thin veil of flash hair over them which always produces for me. Nice, where do you tie in the flash hair? I just tie in a small amount as a veil at the head of the fly. Just enough to give the whole fly a bit of a shimmer look in the water. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike West 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2017 I have few of these Monsters also. Wine bottle cork...I'm guessing a 10wt to toss them. Couldn't find hooks big enough so had to do this. Used an Allen B200 #2 and a Gamakatsu B10 1/0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jaydub 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2017 Norm, your recent posts are taking me back to the roots of my fly tying. In the first class I took we tied the Brown Bivisible, Gray Hackle Peacock, Gray Hackle Yellow and Renegade. Now you need a Black Wooly Worm (grizzly hackle and a red yarn tail), Bucktail Caddis, Black Gnat (dry), Royal Coachman Trude and Rosborough's Meadow Grasshopper.
