I'll probably give it a go with redfish as well. Something nice and light to plop in front of skittish reds in shallow ponds. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The body which is muskrat came from a Great Horned Owl pellet. Nice! I was just learning this fly today. Yours look much better! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moshup 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2020 @Pbass Nice. Good job on the wings. It’s not an easy dry fly with the hackle point wings and the pairing of two hackles. Do you have a small hair stacker ? You’ll find that your tailing will be much more even using one. With the dubbing less is more . Easier to add bulk than to take it away. I’m running low on my regurgitated muskrat or I’d send you some. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m running low on my regurgitated muskrat or I’d send you some. @Moshup Thanks. No I don't have a small hair stacker. I am going to put part of an empty pen shaft inside my stacker and see if that works for a small stacker until I get one on order. I did not stack the hair at all. I have a hard time controlling the amount of dubbing still. But I will keep trying to get it smaller. I am going to keep tying these for a couple days and try to improve my skills. The picture was the second one I tied. I don't think I have the stomach for regurgitated muskrat! That is a special kind of dedication! LOL! Thanks for your help. I do appreciate it!
