mikechell 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2018 Well, if you don't catch anything, you won't be able to blame the flies. Those are perfect for the job. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SILKHDH 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2018 What a nice set of salt water flies. Don't be surprised if the dudes around you fishing want one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted February 2, 2018 Put rattles in last 3....Here's couple craft fur ones. No rattle shank too short. Didn't think about adding mono bridal for the rattles. Tie hank w/lil flash out the tail and reverse 3 more hanks then fold back each and wrap. Used long craft fur. UV lil on head to retain shape and color with sharpie. Are peacocks canibalistic? Got a baby one... Went back and added rattles.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Swamp Fly 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2018 Yes, peacocks are cannibals. Green/yellow/orange is a very popular combo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Think ep fibers(Congo hair) would be an ok sub for this pattern? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted February 3, 2018 Not sure if EP,Congo alone is stiff enough. The clear/white(?) is combined with some SF (Steve Farrar's) that has some flash in it and some blue/purple crystal flash. You could combine lotta stuff but the supreme hair kinda the back bone if you will. This stuff is common? https://shop.flyfishsd.com/products/wapsi-supreme-hair-super-hair?utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=googlepla&gclid=Cj0KCQiA2NXTBRDoARIsAJRIvLyTUE9A5ScU1kam21VqoPWEdbEZr8CVVHAybU8TjnOgyjVmJoM3l5MaArqyEALw_wcB http://www.feather-craft.com/super-supreme-hair Top is supreme, white/clear EP clear/white. didn't use SF gray with flash SF shrimp colored... tan. Didn't use would make a tan rather than gray overall color. Blue/purple crystal flash Mixed the three together Dang! Wish ida put rattles on them. Don't think I can back up on these to add like the streamers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
