Rogan's Gadget 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

Originally a British pattern for sea trout, what a great little minnow pattern. Note, the original simply used the black thread to tie down the Mallard at the bend, but I decided to use red as potentially a little bit of a trigger. It seems a lot of injured minnows I've seen tend to have some red around the vent, which I wanted to imitate here. So the red thread added one extra step.

There is a second pic in which I used Rainbow Flash A Bou for the body. Gave it a nice little touch of color.

Enjoy.

I like it. Might also be cool with purple or red rib for a juvenile rainbow trout look

JJD - did you look at the second pic of the pattern? I think the rainbow colored Flash A Bou might give the color you are looking for. It throws in some pink, blue, and a little gold.

Very nice fly, I wonder how it fishes, and what would hit it. I imagine most warm water species would like it.

It was originally tied for sea trout over in GB, representing a small baitfish or sand eel. But I think about any thing that eats other fish would nab it. You could adjust the body material to fit whatever species of bait you have. Wouldn't exactly be a Gadget, but if it catches fish.......
