Looking forward to trying these on walleyes this spring. Pretty simple fly to tie; making the dubbing brushes (not shown; you folks know how to make them better than I do) took about as long as the rest of the fly.




hook - Mustad 79580 #6
thread - Uni 8/0 white
weight - lead free wire .030
tail - marabou white/olive
flash - Krystal Flash pearl
body - dubbing brush EP Flash chartreuse
belly - dubbing brush Ice Dub pearl
head - 1/4" cone silver

start chartreuse forward, sweeping fibers back

continue forward to cone and tie off; sweep fibers up and back

take brush back along near side, go over the back of the hook bend and under the tail, then pull forward on far side and tie off (creates a fuller belly, maybe not necessary but I like how it looks); tie off and SHHAN

Change colors as you see fit (a baby brown trout would look neat).
