xvigauge 0 Report post Posted July 4, 2019 Most any fly (for trout) that has a predominance of yellow will usually work well here in the Smokies (there are a few exceptions of course). The green weenie nymph is also a great fly in the summer time. This is a variation of the green weenie, only yellow and instead of using yellow chenille for the body, I used yellow marabou strands wound around the hook. I'll give it a shot and see if the trout like it. Hook: 12 to 16 nymph hook Head: gold or copper bead Thread: yellow Underbody: fine non-toxic wire and any light colored yarn to provide a base for the marabou body Tail: yellow duck quill Body: Yellow marabou strands Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rokas 0 Report post Posted July 5, 2019 This little beauty just popped up on our YouTube channel. A very, very simple fly you can tie using nothing but thread, a bead, and a silver wire with some UV resin. Feel free to check it out if interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s06cT_sUo2w as always, with EN subtitles Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
