Not sure how effective they are, but these are a lot of fun to tie. Here's the vid if you'd like to see how Jay does it:




hook - Mustad 3906B #8
thread - Danville 6/0 black
rib - fine oval tinsel gold
body - yarn hot orange
wing - pheasant tail fibers
overwing - Krystal Flash hot orange
over/over wing - egg yarn cerise (pattern calls for hot pink yarn, of which I have none)
hackle - hen grizzly

Regards,
Scott

A couple more

red body




fuschia




Replaced the pheasant tail wing with pheasant rump; a bit easier to work with.

Do any of those have a date with brookies in their futures?

Bad rotator cuff so no more fishing this year; hope to swing them in front of some 'bows and browns next spring.
