Delektable Twisted Sister SBS

[ScottP]

Fished a very similiar pattern with a bullet head/wing of black elk (maybe moose?) called the "Fluttering Stone" this year that you might also want to try: https://www.ashlandflyshop.com/produ...uttering-stone. Good pattern but that dark wing can be hard to see so adding something like an overwing of poly or a foam post would help in my mind, but that's for experimentation for next year's hatch.

John,

That's a nice fly; pulled the pic from their site (looks like dyed deer or elk for the head/wing)




Very similar to Mike Lawson's Henry's Fork Salmonfly (I tied it with a dubbed and foam body)










as well as Bob Jacklin's Giant Salmon Fly





As big as all these flies are, a foam indicator tied in on the head would be a definite plus (guess my eyesight was better when I tied the Lawson and Jacklin flies). Looks like I'm going to miss out on the big bugs this year, so I'll have plenty of time to play around with ideas for 2020.

Regards,
Scott
