Guest Report post Posted November 22, 2004 If you have tied and fished it, what color combos have worked the best and did you add ribbing. i thought i'd ask before twisting some up. Thanks Brent. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pacres 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2004 I have tied it in a bunch of tan/darkbrown colors, and a dark olive version as well. Had some great luck on the olive, and not much with the tan and browns. I don't use the swiss straw it calls for, but use pheasant tail instead. I have had problems with the straw breaking up when it gets wet even after flex cementing it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted November 23, 2004 The Muncher Ken posted is the one i was refering to. i have some pretty scary combos going on.Finding a feather hackle small enough is killing me.i've even tied a few with Phesant Tail legging and some with a blue Rafia wing case that looks SWEET!
