Yellow Jacket - Traditional New Pattern Database Submission

Dear FTF Member,
Support FTF by Subscribing to Hatches Today! 2011 Issue - In Stock
Since 2003 FlyTyingForum.com has grown from a handful of people to 30,000 registered members and has become the largest fly tying community in the world. In 2007 I published the first issue of Hatches because I felt the FTF community could offer a printed magazine that far exceeds anything the fly tying world has ever seen published. To this day, Hatches is largely made up of articles submitted to me by FTF member and FTF will continue to play a large role in the future of Hatches. Hatches truly is a grassroots effort, unlike many of the other publications in circulation that have the backing of large media corporations. The future of both Hatches and FTF depends on the support of FTF members like you. For $7 a year, you not only help ensure that I have the resources needed to be able to offer you all of the features you enjoy today free of charge, you also get 96 pages of pure fly tying awesomeness that is worth the price by itself. Click Here for Subscription Info Thank You -Will

Nice work! That is a very nice looking fly! I've never actually seen the pattern before. Thanks for sharing it. smile.gif
The great thing about catch & release is that the fish can live to grow even larger.
In fact, I've known some fish to grow quite a bit larger before the fisherman even returned home.

I erronuosly listed the hackle as Ginger...the hackle is a fine barbed yellow barred hackle feather from a Metz neck. Tied this one for the gills this summer and fall. Was just seeing what I could whip out of scrap materials on the bench.

Nothing really unique about it, David. Just messing around. I think it'll get it's share of gills, but then again, so will aluminum foil wrapped around a hook! LOL!

Nah, I'm off. biggrin.gif I'm working on my softhackles. I've gotten rusty over the past several months without tying. It looks like I have the aluminum foil fly down though. headbang.gif

HA HA!! Crazy thing about that is I've "tied" that same fly, and it DOES work! Gotta love 'dem gills!

now that's a nice looking yellow jacket, got tons of them around here through out the summer. I'm going to tie a few of these up for sure. Tied a few with chenille and hackle but like the dubbed body and wings.\

Nice too see I'm not the only one that likes to take their left overs and try to come up with something a bit different smile.gif

Thanks, Mike. Was just trying something new..but not necessarily different. Hoping to get to the Cumberland in October and try this pattern out on the trout! Gonna kill the gills in the lake and creek. I love the Mcginty for gills (and trout) but this just seemed simpler.

Thanks, GB.

Thank you, Ray! I find your comments to be of high regard. I appreciate your work and your style. I tied this while I was attempting to improve on my dry fly skills, which have been sorely lacking as , until recently, I was an almost exclusive warmwater guy, only fishing for trout when the smallmouth and bucketmouths layed up for the winter. I love fishing bee and wasp patterns for panfish and have taken many nice trout on the traditional McGinty. I just whipped this out for Jamie and myself on a whim, but I have grown to really like it. Again, Ray, thank you for your comments. Oh, if it's any consolation, the hackle is pretty cheap and of lesser quality. Shouldn't break you up too much.

yeah, Lamy. No real reason other than I liked it that way. I'm sure it could be "corrected" by more skilled tiers with a better eye for aesthetics.
