Perry's Bugmeister SBS

[ScottP]

What's not to like about a fly with this much peacock?; developed by John Perry of Missoula, MT. Couldn't find any instructions, but it seemed pretty easy to figure out a tying sequence that worked.


hook - Tiemco 5212 #10
thread - Uni 6/0 camel
tail - elk hair
body - peacock herl
underwing - Krystal Flash pearl
wing - elk hair
thorax - peacock herl
post - Congo Hair white
hackle - grizzly


Part 1

mash barb, attach thread at 2/3 mark, wrap to point above barb







wrap back to initial tie-in, clean/stack a clump of elk and measure for length (let it extend a bit more than hook gap width past the bend)







trim to length, tie in and wrap back to point above hook barb










tie in some peacock herl







twist herl with tying thread and wrap forward to initial tie-in; tie off/trim peacock







tie in some Krystal Flash; fold it back over body










clean/stack another, denser clump of elk and measure for length (let it extend to the tail)

Part 2

trim to length and tie in







wrap wing with non-tox wire





tie in a clump of Congo Hair (or your favorite sub); post it up and tie in hackle (shiny side out)







tie in some more peacock herl at the hook eye





twist peacock with thread, create thorax (wrap back over wing tie-in) and finish with thread at base of post





grab hackle and start wrapping post from top down





cram as many wraps of hackle as you can; let it hang down, take 2 horizontal turns of thread at base of post





half hitch x 2, SHHAN, trim KF and post and you're done

Scott

nice tie, i was wondering, ive never really been into parachutes... does it really matter if you leave the top of the post? ive assumed the only main reason is for an indicator, or am i wrong?

Sure, you could trim it. Me, I need the indicator; in fact, if I could find a way to mount a flare gun on the fly, I would.

I like it. Took me a minute to figure out the wire wrap! A wire tie, cable tie also. Nice, when I can get back to the vise, right hip replaced last Monday, I'll try one, or a bunch!

Mike, Good luck with your hip rehab. I watch and assisted my wife through both sides. After a week I think you have the worse behind you. Hers was last year 10 years after her first, the scar was about 1/3 as long, they have really made great progress in the last 10 yeas.

Hey Mike i feel your pain also. I have 2 hip replacements. You will be back at the vise soon

And fishing beyond that. Best of luck Pete.

I almost asked Scott what floatant he used to keep that lead wing wrap on top . . .

That is RIDICULOUS!











He clearly uses foam...

I like the idea of the wire wrap while tying. I may have to start doing that.....
