Lingren's Olive SBS

[ScottP]

Have you tried using the Marabou as the tail, tying the tail and abdomen like a Pheasant Tail Nymph? I do this for Hex and Isonychia nymphs and it makes a killer breathing and tail wagging fly.

Wade,

Marabou fibers make great tails with lots of movement; works for damsels, too






I was tying the Lingren true-to-pattern and that called for hackle fibers; no reason not to sub as you see fit. By the way, welcome to the forum.

Regards,
Scott
