Cerise marabou

The recipe for a Cardinalle streamer calls for cerise marabou. I have quite a selection but have never seen this color advertised. Can anyone help? :confused:

Ray,

Hareline has Fl. Cerise:

Ray if my memory serves me right, the wing was cerise or basically florescent pink marabou. the body was the same color with a collar of yellow hackle. I do remember the fly was popularized by Paul Kukonen of Worcester Mass.. Not sure if he was the originator, but every program or show he always had a mess of his Cardinelles. Universal Vise Company was the only supplier of cerise marabou that I know of, I probably have a small package salted away somewhere. By the way I never caught a fish on it.

Hi Gene; You're right about Kukonen's programs and sales. I have a couple of his ties from a T.U. meeting. The only difference I note is that his bodies were a shade more like orange. The reason I'm looking is that a member of our little tying club frequently visits Maine to fish and I understand that this is where the pattern got it's reputation.

I kind of think of cerise as a dark hot pink. (if that makes any sense at all!) Hot pink with a little purpleish tint to it....

Hey Ray, I will try to look tonight to see if I have any, if I do, I will gladly send you a pack. This is very, very similar to fuschia colored, which I have a hard time
getting sometimes. I tie shad flies with those colors.

Ray,
Not sure if this is the exact shade you are looking for, but Feather-Craft also has it in the new UV2 enhanced. Color #16.

It can be hard to find. Around here, Flo cerise is the killer color for sanjuan worms. And when you see it on the rack....grab it! LOL

It's a done deal guys. Thanks for the hand holding.
