    Default Reece Surface Assassin (variation)











    Bob Reece’s hacklestacker attractor; appears to share genetic code on the front end with the Morrish May Day. Made a few minor changes to the original, mostly due to availability of materials; doubtful that the fish will care. Here’s the SBS if you’re interested.

    hook - WFC Model 28 #12
    thread - MFC 6/0 purple
    underbody - holo tinsel purple
    abdomen - micro tubing clear
    wing - Congo Hair shiner tan
    thorax - Prism dubbing purple
    head/indicator - packing foam white

    Regards,
    Scott

    Reece’s Surface Assasin (variation) II







    Had good luck with the purple one so let’s see what else works. Forgot the micro tubing but I doubt it will make any difference (coated the shank with Super Glue before I wrapped the KF).

    abdomen - Krystal Flash rootbeer
    wing - Congo Hair shiner tan

    thorax - Ice Dub golden brown
    head/indicator - packing foam white

    Great looking fly Scott. Would for sure support a nymph dropper forever. I could probably see it too.
    Nice work!
