During the past couple of years someone on the Swap of the Month tied a streamer with white over red craft fur with doll eyes. Well, this is one of my favorite panfish flies and a chunk of ice took my last one. Anyone want to take credit for this great fly and offer up a materials list?
Thanks,
Bill
I can maybe do one, since I am the king of craft fur. I have more types than anyone..
Bill,
I don't think that was a SOTM pattern. I have all of them mounted and nothing with white over red and doll eyes. The closest one is a Clouser Varation with dumbell eyes You tied.
Bill
havn't had the time yet as i am filling orders right now. Is this what you are looking for.Attachment 11667
Bill: Thanks for the update. I'm not sure where I got these then.
Bob: Not quite but, similar. Pure white craft fur wing on top, bright red on the bottom. Quarter inch doll eyes. No flash, no marabou. Killer green sunfish fly. Go figure. Thanks for your information.
Thanks,
Bill
I think this post generated more views than any other one I have posted. Anyone interested in a "White over red" swap?
How long was the fly? And do you remember approximately what size hook it was tied on?Quote:

That's the problem. Bob's examples are not quite right. It was about 2 1/2 inches from nose to tail. The eyes were doll eyes and it was not weighted. It was shaped like a Rainy's pattern (see cabelas) but pure white over pure red. It as a large hook, 2, 4, 6. Here it is in the mouth of a 8.5" green...

is red under the hook shank ???
need as much details as you can descibe and I'll tie it....
you better pm me your addy so i can send all the rejects to you...
Closer, Bob. Less head. The one I saw was a Rainy baitfish pattern. What size are you tying? That was the thing it was a large hook which kept the babies off. This attracted the larger ones I think.
Thanks,
Bill
its a size 3- 4x long gold hook for now. I'll do a smaller head tomorrow morning..I tie from 6am to 10 am everyday. still waiting on addy..I am serious about sending..
Something like this except red and I crowded the hook on this example.

Sure. Just say the word. I tie a red and white baitfish pattern (Puglisi-style), but I usually put the red on top. I also tie red and white Polar Minnows. They are both deadly on white and striped bass.

I know, I tie several with the white on the bottom. I still can't remember where I got these but they were white over red and the big green sunfish just loved them. Red craft fur on order and should arrive in a few days.Quote:
