    Default Coyote Bugly (new pattern) looking for a critique

    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)

    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???

    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!
