I've had this pattern in my filing system for about 7 years and finally now have the time to both tie it and also fish it. Tied on a Mustad 37160 size 1/0 as per the pattern material list. We'll soon see how it works! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

David Parker 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2017 Hey there Wetsock. Thanks for the kind remarks. When I first saw that pattern posted on another site by originator Al Campbell, I was inspired to someday tie it. At the time, I was still working a full time job plus running my rod business which left me very little tying time, so I put it into my filing system for future days. Fast forward to retirement time and now I have all kinds of time to both tie and fish those flies that have been archived for many years. I love the deer hair work and somehow felt the fly would be productive just looking at it. I'm going to test this one of 4 out soon and then mix and match colours to see what the fish prefer. My 9wt Sage should toss it well into the cover where the big girls hide. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David Parker 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2017 Flytire your streamer patterns are amazing! IMO, they are always very well tied and with extremely neat workmanship I must say. I am a neat freek with everything I do, so I visit this site daily just to see what is new and each day I am impressed with the many folks here that have such wonderful work. No wonder it inspires new tiers to be creative. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
