AGAIN,, W O W !! THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP AND DEDICATION YOU BRING TO ALL OF US,, WELL DONE 👍,,, SUPER CHANNEL,,, LEARN A LOT,,,, BE SAFE,,
Nice fly - really easy to tie as well. Looks great.
Wow! That's a big hook! Although I will probably never get the chance to use such a big fly, I really liked the foul guard you fashioned from hard mono. I'm sure it would work for long rabbit zonkers and such on much smaller patterns.Pleasure to watch. Thanks for sharing!
charles mc farlane thanks Charles. GTs are just a short hop down to Okinawa
Very nice demo thanks! I watched this as I was trying to replicate a fairly popular & deadly big GT fly here in Australia, which is very similar to this, called Openshaw’s Ghost, tied with a red chin, white lower and greyish or blue upper/over body.
The latter is usually tied with the fibres lying very flat (from top to bottom); I have been trying to work out how to achieve the latter. What I have found achieves this to some extent is to use extra large flat eyes or tab-eyes and squeeze the fibres between the eyes as one glues them. Do you have any other suggestions on this point?
Rather than trimming the tail into a ‘point’ it’s usually cut roughly vertically.
We tie these on 4/0, 6/0 & 8/0 hooks but the beauty of this pattern is it does not hold much water so is streamlined & light to cast on say a 12Wt line.
Sounds similar to the FPF.
Eyes will do the job to an extent as you say. Other options are tying a Popovics' spread fly style pattern or if you build the wing with more, but smaller bunches of material keeping them directly on top of each other you will get a mire vertical effect.
Hope that helps.
Very nice tying!!
