A Shuck over Tail Sparkle Brown Drake

[Byron haugh]

Don't laugh, please OK, you may. Messing around with different ties for the Brown Drake Duns. Not tied the best and maybe not a good idea, but................








A photo I found on the internet showing a mayfly abandoning its shuck:




Or, a Tail Over Shuck............................

That's about how I tie mine

[Steven]

Wouldn't it make more sense to put the shuck under the tail?

Nicely tied. And would like to hear how it fishes too! I would imagine though that with the shuck vs the tail....it would be either-or...one or the other?

[Host Ray]

That looks a lot like a fly I tie in various colors. DEADLY pattern!!

Looks somewhat like very dark Usual with a comparadun undertail. Interesting.

Great job Byron, looks good.......just remember....its not how it looks, how does it fish

I believe you are correct! Thanks!
