niveker 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2021 Great ties, everyone, as always. 21 hours ago, Scarface Z said: Improvised little brown trout. That's a really nice 'improvisation', Scarface Z. I like your use of the pheasant flank for an eye. I assume you strip away everything but the tip and then tie it in? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt Bob LeMay 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2021 Love those Charlies Dave... Years ago when a lot of my shop orders were for bonefish bugs I did a variety of Crazy Charlies and similar stuff - a #4 hook (Mustad 34007) was the standard but I also filled orders with #6 and #2 hooks... When I did them with V-rib - they were called Clear Charlies... Shops that catered to anglers headed for the Bahamas always sold a bunch of them... The only difference is that mine were only ever done with bead chain eyes... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
