Capt Bob LeMay 0 Report post Posted July 25, 2020 I’m not a freshwater tyer at all but I’m lucky enough to be one of Umpqua Feather Merchants’ contract tyers. When I told them that one of my tarpon patterns was being used by pike and musky anglers - things got interesting and now the same pattern (the Tarpon Snake) is also being sold in shops worldwide as the Pike Snake... Who knew? Here's a photo or two of the original Tarpon Snake... In all black (body and tail are both wide, webby dyed black saddles) the original - a deadly deepwater big tarpon fly... Here are a few of the many color variations... Now for one of Pike Snake variations... Done up on a 3/0 hook they're available in red/white, chartreuse, as well as orange/yellow... All of the ones I tie up come with a wire weedguard - pretty handy for the places pike hang out in... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
