I've been doing some streamer tying as of late. Working on stuff for largemouth. I have come up with a few color combos that I feel will work quite nicely. There really isn't much to this fly. It is tied on a size 6 Mustad R73-9671 hook. I have run a mono loop of 20 pound test fishing line off the back of the hook. Next up, I used mirco rabbit strips since it is a size 6. I did some with and some without Krystal flash. I then added layers of marabou and Palmer chenille as I made my way up to the eye of the hook. Last, but not least, I added in a small amount of red Ice Fur for a throat. After measuring, I added a Fish Skull to the front of the fly. Tie in a thread dam in front of the Fish Skull and seal it with some Loon Outdoors UV Clear Fly Finish Flow and you are ready for action. A short water test showed that the materials compress nicely. I'm excited about these guys and I can't wait to see what people catch with them. I am hoping the largemouth tear them up but they are also small enough for my local smallies. Going to be good times!
Those are some good looking streamers and with the durable materials you've used I doubt the bass will "tear them up"
ReplyDeleteHa! Well played sir, well played. Thanks for the kind words!
DeleteI've got a sneaky suspicion that those would even catch some trout out here Jeff. NIce work.
