Merry Christmas!

What do you furl your leaders out of? I am interested in making some to test them out. Thanks! Ethan.

Thanks for the help, I'll have to try those out!

Troutguy, what do you use the raccoon and wood chuck for? I have some woodchuck and can get some coon fur pretty easily.

Nice! The flies that is, not the flu.

Looks good, but one question, What is the flapper on the tail made out of?

Rats I missed it!

Thanks, great info.

Thanks for replying, they look just like that here in the U.S. I've got a couple of pelts along with some house sparrow pelts and wings. Any ideas for other patterns to use them for?

What part of the starling does that kind of feather come from? Are you using the feathers from the back of the bird or the breast?

Is your indicator a slip style indicator? Also I noticed you have a Humminbird Fishin buddy how do you like it? Thanks.

great looking fly

Marabou is the rump feathers of a chicken.

I saw some of this stuff at a local hobby lobby, it is quite similar to Waspi palmer chenille, and it comes in quite a few colors to. http://shop.hobbylobby.com/products/night-fire-gilt-eyelash-yarn-753079/

Do you have a recipe for them?

I was just starting to post the very same pattern when your reply came up

Thanks!

What is the pattern you were using? I know it was a baby bass fly but was it a popper or a streamer?

Thanks! Great looking fly.

Don't worry too much about the eyes, you've got a dead ringer for a bluegill. Nice work - be sure to let us know how it works on the predators. Thanks for the encouraging words, I am hoping to try it this spring when the baby gills get about that size.

I just use whatever I have on my bobbin.
