Mark Knapp 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2020 In Alaska, most of our streams have young Lamprey eels in them and many of our predatory fish feed on them. They spend the first two years of their lives in fresh water and can be anywhere from an inch long to two feet. This imitation is eight inches long. The green is just for a hot spot and so I can call the fly the Billie Eilish. I'm sure the pike will eat it up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flytire 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2020 Ray Bergman Bucktail This recipe is from “Streamer Fly Tying and Fishing” by Joseph D Bates Jr Thread – Black Body – Flat silver tinsel Throat – A very small bunch of red hackle fibers, rather short Wing – A small bunch of white polar bear fur over which is a very small bunch of pale yellow bucktail. The wing is sparsely dressed Shoulders – Each the tip of a red body feather from a macaw, one third as long as the wing Updated Recipe Hook – Streamer style Thread – Black Body – Flat silver tinsel Throat – A very small bunch of red hackle fibers, rather short Wing – A small bunch of white bucktail over which is a very small bunch of pale yellow bucktail. The wing is sparsely dressed Shoulders – Each the tip of a dyed red hen feather Not wanting to use the little amount of polar bear I have, I substituted white bucktail Having no red macaw feathers I substituted dyed red hen hackle tips Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikechell 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2020 A Billie Eilish Fly ... It should have a great singing voice and a very weird sense visual information. But I love it! Doesn't she usually do her hair in blue? Yes, she does. Blue ... mmmmmmmm. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We better be careful or someones going to move this thread to "The Lodge" 😋😋 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McFlyLures 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2020 Some horned caddis flies. I got the abdomen idea from Davey McPhail. I am sure this is a pattern for someone else out there but just kinda did something different on the head and thorax than Davey. I wanted something heavier, so tunsten bead and added some horns, I don’t think that one had the horns. Anyway... this was my afternoon today, got a few done. Like 10 I think.

I would about guarantee you those will catch fish. Very buggy looking. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Third is traditional haiirwing on Diachi Salmon/Steelhead hook. Pics taken with phone. Sorry about shadows. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
