SBPatt 0 Report post Posted September 18, 2021 Spent Spruce Moth (Gerbec style) Sharptail body feathers look more like the moth’s wing but I can’t get them to hold their shape so I used woodduck; fish aren’t going to care one way or another. hook - WFC Model 3 #10 thread - Uni 8/0 tan body - Ice Dub tan underwing - Congo Hair shiner tan wing - woodduck flank thorax - Ice Dub tan hackle - light ginger Regards, Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chasing_Tails 0 Report post Posted September 20, 2021 Standing Ovation Minnow: Hook: Mustad 3407, #2 Thread: Uni-Thread 6/0, olive Weedguard: 50lb mono Weight: Lead dumbell, large (pounded flat) Tail: Bucktail, white/olive/black Flash: Krystal Flash, brown and peacock Eyes: Prismatic, 3/16", red Markings: Sharpie Marker, brown Saw an interesting pattern on Youtube that was a standing minnow. It utilized Fish Skull Sculpin head for the weight and a bent hook to kick the tail of the fly vertical. I didn't have any in stock so I went with a lead dumbell, but pounded it flat so it would provide a more stable base. The bucktail gives enough buoyancy to keep the fly standing upright.
