tetraodontoxin 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2021 I was finally able to get some more materials, I also bought some blind eye hooks to tie some Mary Orvis Marbury flies. So I decided to tie each patter on an eyed salmon hook before doing the blind eye. Here is the Claret Montreal MOM fly, tied on a size 5 Alec Jackson steelhead irons. The wing is the uniform color because I wasnt able to locate my new matched pair of turkey tail, so I had to use the tips of a mostly used up feather. Plus I should have tied in the wing, then the hackle, but did it the opposite like I normally do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RickZieger 0 Report post Posted April 8, 2021 No Ostrich. It is peacock sword, but in blanching it some of it appears to look like ostrich. Rick Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

niveker 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2021 @Sandan, If the bourbon was as good as those bugs, you're doing something right. Is 'flav style' just a large version of a BWO pattern. In smaller sizes those look like they would do very well for our eastern. Very nice ties, gents, love those spiders, @Moshup I have not had much time at the vise of late, but was able to squeeze in a few minutes this morning. I came across this pattern a while back on another site, but have never heard of it before. I did stumble upon one bit of info saying it's available for sale at a local sports shop, but have not had the chance to stop in there yet. If anyone has more info, or critique, please let me know. Westfield River Bug Hook - #12 (I think) Thread - Black Weight: gold wire under thorax Tail - Olive PT fibers Rib - DNC gold thread, 1 strand Body - green floss Wing Case - FTD crinkle hair, white (I coated it with SHHAN when done, which darkened it and allowed the peacock to show through, will leave that final step out next time) Thorax - Peacock Legs - Olive PT Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flav is short for druenella flavilinea, it's more like a small western green drake in fact sometimes it's called Small Western Drake. They are mostly 14/16s. I don't see any reason to not use that pattern as a template for BWOs. In Rene Harrop's book "Learning from the Water" has quite a few recurring patterns with different materials to match different bugs.
