Tom S Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Ok, round two. Going for more presence for dirty water, and better sinking characteristics. #2 2xl hook, gives me some more shank to work with. Knock the barb, toss it in the vice. Lead wraps, black marabou tail More marabou, and some peacock hearl for flash. Some flashy cream coloured chenille for a belly. Bring the marabou and hearl over for a back Scuplin wool head. Tie and cut to shape. Hopefully the marabou tail gives plenty of wiggle, and the lead helps it get down where it needs to be. I should really get some eyes to expoy on.

trouttamer Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 new in vise today spring wigglers{michigan wigglers} look em up on google great steely fly my fave is orange or pink with grizzly hackle palmmered and squirrel tail for tail and back. I was running this fly as early as 1988 as it was introduced to me by a seasoned steelheader, rest is history as ived been tying ever since. sry i cant post a pic, google will though sizes 6 -12, i prefer an 8 Darrin also very quick and simple fly to tie i can do a dozen in an hour no problem as long as I arrange my materials first and cement them all at once as the last step Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
