Almost the same tie as the Pass Lake Special. Just a variance in a few materials. 🎣 Neil

Really nice, will be giving it a go👍🏻

I was surprised when you said marabou was more durable than bucktail. I’ve never heard someone compare their durability before. Is this something you found by experience? I do think the marabou looks better and would have more action in slow or still water. For fast water, I would have thought bucktail a better choice, but now I wonder if it would be the right choice.

In the book the pattern called for white deer hair ,there for the marabou would be stronger, I probably said the wrong thing lol sorry about that thanks for watching appreciate it

Super nice fly. I agree with you that the marabou looks better and has more action than the deer hair. I am going to tie this fly on a size 12 if I can get everything to look right. Thanks for the great video, Hughie. It is much appreciated.
