    Default dubbing brushes and pike fly...

    Well I got bored today so I made up some dubbing brushes:



    I used Congo Hair, some extra fine rubber legs and some flash - although the flash doesn't show
    up too good in the picture.

    Here is a pike fly I tie with dubbing brushes:



    Could be a good bass fly, too.

    Enjoy,

    George

    Not only a great bass/pike fly, but I wouldn't mind hanging that on my own Christmas tree! Nice fly, nice looking brushes, too!

    Nope, bought them off Ebay, they are not 'branded'

    Thanks,gg...

    That fly reminds me somewhat of a Calcasieu Pigboat.

    Wow, Duckster!
    I was typing the exact, same, message when yours was posted!?! It surely resembles the pig boat, doesn't it?

    It might be a cousin but there are differences.
    Rubber hackle tail and not marabou.
    No hackle wound around the body.
    The dubbing brush hackle at the head of the fly.

    More changes than are on many named flies.

    That is great! I guess up in Wichita Falls you are close enough to some of that fine Okie pike and walleye water.

    I am curious, did you build your brush machine or is it store bought?

    If you built it, please would you tell me what you used for those clips that hold the wire?

    best

    If you want a large fly for pike or musky switch to tube flies. A large fly with a smaller single double or trebble hook--less weight to cast than with a large hook.BILL
