What should I tie

[troutmaster08 0]

I recently bought some tinsel and chenille and so far have blue pearl and copper tinsel as well as tan and brown chenille. What are some fairly easy flies I could tie with these? I have a ton of other material so feel free to branch out a bit.

Tie a brown spratley - gunea fowl tail, copper rib, brown chenele body, gunea fowl throat,  pheasant rump feather for the wing all on a 3xl hook I like #8.  I tie them with black body, and green body and I don't see why this combo would not work - especially in lakes.

Rainbow warriors if you have pearl tinsel or any color will work for midge larvae patterns

If you have some strung Hackle. It sounds you are all set to tie up some Crappie jigs.

Try variations of the James Woods Bucktail pattern - I've tied about 20 different patterns using this as a starting base.  If you need some recipes feel free to PM me.

What are they using for heads on the spratley. Is that peacock herl or chenille?
