Who tied this?

[stcroixguy]

Last year I hosted a couple of fly swaps. One tier sent some extras for the swap master,

This fly:
B733A849-188D-456E-95B2-6F84BBC3F7CB.jpg

I had the opportunity to use this fly on the Henery?s Fork, Firehole and the Madison with great success!
My Guide on the Henery?s Fork was super impressed with it also, and he fishes 200 days a year and sees a crazy huge amount of flys in action.

This fly accounted for dozens of fish, was DEADLY on the Firehole.

Here is the thing, I lost the tiers info, and I wanted to thank him/her for the flys and relay the success of the fly.

I would really like to know who sent me these flys, and get the exact recipe.

Or, just SELL me 2dozen and I will give some away to all my fly fishing friends for Christmas.

Feel free to reply here or IM me..

Thanks in advance!

A generic soft hackle bead head. Sort of a pheasant tail bead head soft hackle.

Just returned from fishing the Henry’s Fork, and this little Flav pattern was working for all of us!!

Don’t know who tied it but looks like a Hotwire Nymph of some sort tied on a vertical eyed jig hook. Guessing on the materials, pic is a bit blurry

tail - partridge
abdomen - gold/brown wire
thorax - Ice Dub peacock
hackle - partridge
hotspot - fluoro orange thread or a bit of dubbing
bead - gold (slotted)

Not a particularly difficult tie; either you could do it or you could pay someone.

Scott

With my fat fingers, and bad eyes.

Here is my first attempt.
Waiting on a finer wire and a different cape.

I think the fish will be fine with your fly.

Thanks Dennis.

I sent off an IM to John.

To bad there isn’t more interest in fly swaps on this board anymore..I really enjoy them.

SCG ...... if it's not too much trouble post (or PM me) the materials or instructions for tying this fly. Thanks.

[stcroixguy]

When I get them I will post , my hope is that the original tier will post his original recipe.

Scott did a good job of identifying the materials a few posts up?and he is right, it?s not that challenging of a fly to tie. I just can?t get mine to look ?pretty?.

Maybe, one of the better tiers on this board will take a shot at it.

scg,

i replied to this before i went fishing this morning, but as usual my computor skills are lacking. sorry for the delay. the pattern is as follows

hook: lightning strike jf2
bead: copper, slotted tungsten
thread: uni- thread, camel under wire, fire orange collor
tail: natural pheasant tail.( started using brahma hen , march brown lately seems to hold up better.
abdomen: uni wire, 2 strands copper brown, 1 starnd copper, wrap all three wires at one time, use br wire for size 12 & 14 and small for 16 & 18
thorax: arizona synthetic dubbing , peacock
hackle: whitting brahma hen saddle, march brown, loop dubbed.

i tie the fly on with a loop knot to let the jig style hook do its thing.

fish it as a nymph or as a soft hackle

i came up with this pattern 5 or 6 years ago, and won best nymph and wet fly at the 2019 sowbug round up it has served me well, and hope it does the same for you. any questions give me a yell
