well done. i used to be obsessed with tying this pattern but when all is said and done it is the fly to use for dead drifting. the fly really has a specific value in fish catching. much better flies in terms of tying and fish catching.
Well tied. The pattern seems stiff but I guess it would work well in certain conditions. Like when fish blitz small silvery bait fish. Still, easier to tie patterns might work just as well in that scenario.
VERY COOL WORK , and I will ask like the com mentor before me ,Where do you get that sticky rubber stuff to make the body? I am really interested in making this.
I’ve tied several of these, having trouble with them rolling! They seem to want to flail like a falling leaf when tied flat like this. Compared mine to the store bought ones and umpqua really tied theirs more narrow.
I have to agree with two of your other comments. Cool fly, I'd love to tie land fish a few but I can't find the pearlescent crystal skin anywhere. Orvis, Cabela's, local fly shop, nothing. Where do you get this stuff?????
