April Flies from the Vise

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.

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.

I probably have 40-60 various poppers painted that need tails and weed guards....getting started on them. These are on a #8 Mustad popper hook.

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

before anybody gets their panties in a twist, the recipe for the gray hackle peacock is also tied with red hackle fiber tails


in addition, these gray hackle flies are also tied as "wet" flies. i just opted for the dry style


reference: perrault's standard dictionary of fishing flies

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.
