Briminators

knocked out a few at lunch today. These are great little flies.

Oh, no need to splurge on hooks - I got these at Walmart

Is that ostrich herl? Submit that baby for a FOTW!

I have to admit that I have not done well with Briminators. Maybe I’m not holding my mouth right. LOL Nice flies, Robin

Hook: Mustad 3366, size 8 or 10

Thread: Uni 8/0 to match dubbing

Eyes: Beadchain

Tail: Bottom half of hen feather

Body: Brown rabbit dubbing, Spirit River Depth Advantage dubbing, Lite Brite or Wapsi Super Brite Steelhead dubbing

Hackle: Front half of hen feather, speckled brown or Whiting black lace hackle

Its some old hen feathers from a cape that my wife’s cat got a hold of some while back. I found it the other day. Marabou part for tail and body, the webby feathers for the “wing” behind the bead chain eyes.

Of course it can be spiced up with more materials but I was playing “what can I do with this old bag of feathers?”

Thanks Robert - it’s funny about flies. One angler can clean up with a pattern and then the next person strikes out. There are too many variables for me to essay an opinion on why that is!

Maybe move your tongue to the other side of your mouth :smiley:

Trying to put up an attachment file of the Briminator.

I did a Google search trying to find a step-by-step and found one using a pheasant feather… very cool-looking fly!

Quivira Kid, that is the one that got me started!

Looks good to me. Ought to get bass too.
