Materials with a Touch of Genius
 






Take the hands of a fine craftsman, the eye of an artist, the
experience of a serious angler, the engineering mind of Ronn 
Lucas Sr., and you have the genius which creates the terrific
tying materials Ronn produces.









The Iridescent Flashback Scud shown above is a combination of two
of Ronn's materials, the Iridescent Dubbing and Flashback.  Quoting
Ronn, here's how the dubbing came about:  "My search for the 
ideal material lead me to develop IRIDESCENT DUBBING. 
This material is unlike anything you've seen. It is made by 
blending over three dozen colors in various formulas to produce 
twenty two colors at this writing.  In a word, the colors are 
impressionistic."




The wing case shown is FLASHBACK, a plastic sheet material 
that can be used for wing cases, shells on scuds, shrimp and 
crawdads, fins on minnows and when cut narrow it can be wound 
around the hook for a body, tag or other effect. Many insects 
wings exhibit iridescence and this material makes the best 
cut or burned wings since Nature's own!




Other unusual materials with multiple uses are FOAMBACK,
CRYSTAL CLOTH, SPAWN, FUZZ BALLS and GOCHA.  GOCHA is a very fine 100% 
acrylic random length material which can be used to tie 
flies that call for fragile marabou like leaches, woolly 
buggers, etc. In the water this material moves as well as 
marabou but is easier to work with, can be used in a dubbing 
loop (unlike marabou), and is much more durable.  Tie a fly, 
wet it and shake it off, you will see how little water it 
holds (again unlike marabou). This last point is important 
on larger heavier flies when casting.  GOCHA can be used to 
tie egg patterns, "Wool" Head Sculpins and countless others, 
give it a try, you'll like it! You really need to see these 
materials for yourself.








Do you tie Atlantic Salmon or Spey Flies?  Are you able to
find the materials you want?  Ronn Lucas Sr. has a
wonderful selection of the common, the hard to find - and 
the very exotic.

Ronn has some wonderful Golden Pheasant mutants from one 
of his breeders. Among them are Salmon, Amgold, Yellow and, 
Dark Throat. Next year he hopes to receive some of the brand 
new and yet rare Peach Golden. It is almost all white and 
stunning. He can e-mail pics of many of his birds. He also 
gets other breeds of birds from time to time that have died 
at his breeders. Some of these are female birds that have 
striking mottled feathers. If you are looking for any rare 
and hard to find feathers please let Ronn know. If you would 
like to be placed on a list of folks who are looking for 
something special, let Ronn know that too. He will be happy 
to let you know when the item is available.  He has access 
to many other kinds of birds, many from museums and zoos.
 



Hooks can be hard-to-find as well.  Ronn can supply HERITAGE 
BLIND EYE HOOKS, PRYCE-TANNANT, HARRISON/BARTLEET,
ALLCOCK STREAMER (Carrie Stevens) and GUT.







SPEY HACKLE:  These are special feathers that Ronn hand selects, 
grades, dyes and, strips from the quill for some of the most 
awesome Spey hackles ever. The way these feathers are stripped, 
allows multiple turns at the head with virtually no bulk. 5" to 
14" feathers so some will tie more than one fly. Hackle length, 
¾" to 2" or more. Should be counter ribbed. The longest feathers 
are best used on very large flies or beard hackles.  Available in
a good color range - if you need special colors, call Ronn.




DYED BRONZE MALLARD:  Intense colors on these feathers are 
matched to Ronn's Spey Hackles. These feathers will make your 
Spey flies irresistible to the fish and a joy to look at. Use 
them wherever Bronze Mallard is called for.




Ronn is also a source for the NOR-VISE and associated tools.
