Redwings1 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2008 Lead barbell eyes and a correctly cut head keep this puppy down! Great pattern to fish ... a little lengthy on the tying due to three colors randomly stacked wool. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

day5 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2008 Mike how does it swim? I only ask cause Im working on a similar fly that I'm having trouble with it flipping over. I think the wool is causing it to swim hook point down. The eyes (large lead) are tied on top of the shank (D2220 no4). No brainer right it should flip like a champ. Not so muc.h The only other thing I can think of is the zonker tail. Its holding air and causing it to not flip. :dunno: http://www.flytyingforum.com/index.php?showtopic=32346 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
