88 Streamer (Heron variation)

[ScottP]

Another take on the original 88.
Doubled up on the wooduck on this one to get a more substantial surrounding wing; whether the fish care or not is unknown at present. Also subbed peacock herl for floss in the front portion of the body (been doing a lot of drywall work and my fingers are chewed up - not optimal for handling floss).

hook - Mustad 9671 #4
thread - Danville 6/0 black
rear body - medium wire red
front body - peacock herl
wing - woodduck flank (2)
hackle - hen grizzly

Scott,

If you keep doing this, I'm going to need a fly box just for Woodduck Heron variations!

Thanks for posting another great pattern.
