Toothy 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2021 Harrop's Last Chance Cripples in.... you guessed it Hendrickson! Both soft hackled and neck hackled versions I have always liked the way this pattern fishes when tied with a soft hackle as opposed to stiff neck or saddle hackle. it seems to sit in the film better and have more movement. I have tied them with partridge, hen hackle and speckled CDC in the past. All work beautifully and in my opinion, are more effectively than their stiff hackled counterparts. Materials Used Hook: TMC 101 (here size 14) Thread: Semperfli 18/0 Nanosilk in Copper Tail: Lemon Wood Duck Shuck: TroutHunter CNE Dubbing in Olive Brown Abdomen: Rusty Canada goose biot Ribbing: Danville Fine Gold Thorax: TroutHunter Professional Dry Fly Dubbing in Pink Albert Wing: Natural Brown CDC Hackle: Hungarian Partridge for the soft hackle and Speckled Golden Badger for the standard version Best, Nathan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I need to get some stick on eyes and UV resin to make 'em look pretty, but they'll fish. I don't keep records, wish I did! However in dark water for bass, pickerel and panfish, and seeing the dark colors of the fly, I'm not sure eyes will make a diff. Its the Cork that they might object to;-} Nice presentation. Probably the most therapeutic fly out there to tie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Poopdeck 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2021 Absolutely no reason for eyes or gobs of resin on a deceiver other then for pictures. You could always but a dab of paint eyè and cover it with SH. It will look just as nice. Nice tie except I agree with Baron, the cork is going to cause you to miss that fish of a lifetime. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
