troutmaster08 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2020 I recently bought some tinsel and chenille and so far have blue pearl and copper tinsel as well as tan and brown chenille. What are some fairly easy flies I could tie with these? I have a ton of other material so feel free to branch out a bit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Meeshka 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2020 Tie a brown spratley - gunea fowl tail, copper rib, brown chenele body, gunea fowl throat, pheasant rump feather for the wing all on a 3xl hook I like #8. I tie them with black body, and green body and I don't see why this combo would not work - especially in lakes. Doug Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WWKimba 0 Report post Posted July 25, 2020 Try variations of the James Woods Bucktail pattern - I've tied about 20 different patterns using this as a starting base. If you need some recipes feel free to PM me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
