    Default Another fly idea

    Went out with a fly I tied up with left-over materials. Worked better than the Goldie Jr, black or white boa yarn flies or a black furled tail leech today. No pictures as I lost it on a fish.

    size 10 hook, small bead head. brown lalma hair as dubbing and two pieces of peacock tied on in the middle and then folded back to form 4 legs that went about 1/4 inch beyond the bend of the hook.
    the peacock was red. Had to many other things to do today to get any more tied.

    Hi Rick,

    Thanks for posting the fly pattern.

    Do you think you could get a picture of the fly? You have a history of coming up with flies that tend to catch fish.

    (Every once in a while I come up with a pattern that catches fish, but mostly my original patterns are a long series of flops.)

    Again, thanks for posting the pattern.

    Thanks and regards,

    Gandolf

    Thanks when you post the pics Rick. I want to try tying it. But I am not too good at going by a material list and creating the objective fly. I sure would like to see the picture to know what I am trying to achieve as I try to tie it.

    That looks very very buggy, Rick! I can see why the fish would like that one.

    Thanks for the picture Rick. My minds eye had something different pictured. Very buggy.

    I can see that driving bluegills absolutely nuts.
    If it swims and eats, it'll eat a fly.

    Thanks Rick,

    Like Greg said, I was not sure what it looked like. I had an idea in my minds eye, but it was only a guess. It looks like something gills would eat, so I need to tie a few.

    Thanks and regards,

    Gandolf
