Yeager's Tantrum SBS

http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...n/IMG_5806.jpg


3 layers of foam, and deer hair! Cast it along a black hole's event horizon and it won't go down. Tried to stay true to the parts list, but the pink indicator doesn't do much for me.




hook - Mustad 9671 #6
thread - UTC 140 tan
butt/sac - foam black
body - 2mm foam (3 layer sandwich)
wing - Congo Hair white
indicator - Mcflyfoam pink
collar/head - elk hair
legs - medium rubber barred tan


Part 1

pull foam over butt and tie in on top (not sure if this is Yeager's method but it insures the bottom foam is securely tied down)

tie in top layer of foam (taper end)

That is one ugly fly. But maybe that's the idea. Better use a heavy tippet when chucking that thing.
