River monster

[sandflyx 0]

Been using a lot of fun fur, craft fur, sparkle fur and bird fur lately. Here's one done for the tioga/chemung river in my area. I call it "the river monster" large sculpin type of fly.I used bird fur for the whole thing, tied on a mustad 37167 #2 hook (stinger) tail is a strip of bird fur, body is bird fur with a dyed olive/red fun fur for belly. hook is wrapped with .025 lead wire with a red bead chain for eye. Pectorals are first tied then glued with goop at base before tying in..Hope you like;
