Coyote Bugly (new pattern) looking for a critique

[flywatersmallie]

So, after some trial and error, I think I came up with a workable carp fly. Has all the components, lots of movement, weight and snag resistant. Let me know what you think! Recipe is below. I think it just looks "fishy", should be able to get a take or 2.




Hook: Size 8 Mustad Signature R74
Thread: 6/0 Olive UNI
Body: Peacock herl palmered
Eyes: Medium Bead Chain
Wing: Coyote hair with soft underfur removed tied clouser style
Tail: Split black rubber legs
Hackle: Badger colored streamer saddle (approximately 2 turns)

Thats a good looking fly. What is the sparkle in the body?

Thanks! It's peacock. Gives it that little bit of shimmer in the light.

Very nice looking pattern. I suspect that pattern will work on everything from trout and panfish to bonefish and redfish. I'd love to see some more photos, perhaps side angle shots???

Well, I dont see this fly catchin A fish; I see it catchin lOtsa fish... I like to see folks experimenting creating a fly all theyre own... Good lookin fly...

The thing I don't like about the fly IS:- I didn't think of it first.

Joking aside. Look out Carp. A neat fly that should be a good fish fetcher. Good One! Jax

I agree, should be a great carp-catcher! Nicely done!
