Fore and Aft Big Hole Demon SBS

Inspired by Pete Naranchich’s Big Hole Demon nymph/streamer http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/showthread.php?51910-Big-Hole-Demon-SBS. Pattern calls for badger hair tail - mine’s 2700 miles away (and the fly shops around here don’t open 'till 10) so I subbed hackle; doubt that it matters.

hook - Dai Riki 320 #14
thread - Uni 8/0 fire orange
tail - badger hackle fibers
abdomen/thorax - peacock herl
hackle - badger
mid-section - opalescent mylar medium

Part 1

Mash down barb, start thread

even tips on some hackle fibers, measure for length (shank); tie in/trim butts

tie in hackle

tie in peacock, twist around thread (for re-enforcement); wrap to 1/3 mark, tie off and trim

wrap hackle, tie off and trim

Part 2

tie in mylar, wrap midsection, tie off and trim

repeat hackle/peacock sequence on front 1/3; whip finish, SHHAN

Scott

Nice tie - I love F&A patterns.
