Was prolly the most productive lake fly I fished last year. This is a killer pattern and super simple. Ive also tied it weighted. Also killer but, not as skinny. Is that a marabou tail and beard?

Do you think it is being taken as a scud or damsel imitation? What size do you normally tie it in? One way to weight it but not fatten it up too much might be to tie in a strip of weight wire down the back of the hook shank. Gary Lafontaine tied a scud in this manner that he figured rolled over on its back when at rest, and righted itself when pulled, hence broadcasting the flashback.

It can be a great way to imitate stages of a hatch of Mayflies, Caddis or small baitfish . Originally tied by a Yellowstone National Park guide Frank Beals, who supposedly would shake with anticipation on the morning of a fishing trip. Used to imitate the Isonychia (Slate Drake) or October Caddis. Love the looks of this fly. Any chance you could post the rib and red material used to tie it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
