hopperfisher 0 Report post Posted September 12, 2021 Undertaker (variant) Hook: TMC 7999 #2-10 (use this as a comeback for winter runs in bigger sizes on dark days, and smaller sizes for cloudy summer days) Thread: Danville 6/0, black Tag: Mylar tinsel, flat, gold, size small Butt: Green, then red floss Body: Cactus chenille, black (looks just like peacock herl, "Peacock" cactus chenille has too much green for this application) Wing: Arctic fox tail, black (tied forward and folded back for lift) Throat: Saddle hackle fibers, black (from low on the feather for length and softness, but more hold more shape than hen) Head: Black with UV resin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A lot of people have crazy long bucket lists related to flyfishing. Mine's pretty short: two weeks on the limestone streams of PA and a day tying in SBPatt's tying room.
