| "Attributed to Homer Rhodes, the Seaducer is
a simple pattern, but one that can be varied to make the fly behave so differently
in the water that you may begin to think of it as actually being seve
ral different patterns. Tying in more turns of hackle makes the fly
sink more rapidly. Varying the size of the hackle is also a good way
to change the fly's swimming action and control whether it remains
at the same depth should you pause during the retrieve.-TB |
| Tying Instructions:
- Tie in one or two pair of saddle hackle feathers near the middle of the hook shank for the tail.
- Tie in the butt end of two long saddle hackle feathers just in front of the tail.
- Wind the hackle feathers forward, one at a time or both at once. If you need more hackling, tie in more feathers and continue winding until you have enough.
- Whip finish head and cement.
"Tying Tip"
"By using bright, contrasting colors like red and yellow or red and white, the Seaducer can be a great attractor pattern." - TBInstructions and graphics from Fly-Fishing the Gulf Coast ©by Tom Broderid
