Poopdeck 0 Report post Posted September 24, 2023 STAYNER DUCKTAIL my version with only a slight deviation from the original. I like this pattern so much I tied another variation. I’m excited to fish these. Hook - Mustad size 10 3XL Thread - UTC 70, black Tail - Orange chicken feather fibers Rib - Gold flashabou. 2nd one has a green flashabou rib Body - Med yellow pearl chenille dabbled with a black sharpie. No sharpie on 2nd. Throat - Orange chicken feather fibers Wing - Mallard flank dyed olive Next up is one of my favorite SMB flies, the HYBRID CARP FLY Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Both look to be a great pattern. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poopdeck 0 Report post Posted September 26, 2023 Hot pink and black ice, nice combo. I’ve yet to catch a carp on one but the SMB love them. Maybe the carp like a hot pink tail. I’ll report back on that. Nice tie! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
