Normand, your scorpio pattern, is it marabou the whole way from head to toe or is the body covered with something else? it looks like possible small larva lace, and did you use sparkle chenille for the over eye material?

Purple Eh?
Tim,
In reference to your post :"I must say that by far the most productive fly for smallmouth on The Kankakee River my favorite fishing hole is a yellow over white bucktail nothing fancy but it out fishes everything else I throw"
Are you referring to a Mickie Finn streamer in yellow over white? I have been tying up a few of these and really like them.
For small stream smallmouth I always carry a marebou muddler minnow, usually in yellow with some red:

Don't you love those epiphany moments in tying that make things sooo much easer?! Anywho, the bub is a great smallie fly and Lou and I have had quite a few ripped to shreds fishing Big Sugar Creek in MO. Love those "K-I-S-S" flies with 3 ingredients or less that catch fish like crazy!
Was that just regular rubber leg material? It sure had a lot of bounce to it.
