Funny how they look good with the naked eye but when you take a pic I can see they need a little work yet.

The feesh won't be taking pics & looking at 'em on a computer monitor; should be OK... ;)

Chad..

 

Listened closely when Brian Chan talked about micro leeches. He told us @ the Edmonton FF semiar last winter of his success with red micros. His flies work.

Don - do you have a recipe for those red micros? Size? Are there lead wraps under the body? Do you prefer that bright red to maroon? Maroon has always seemed more natural to me...

Guys,

 

Brian had a "special" marabou colour that he used. Several of who saw it tossed multiple dots of red back and forth who had all been Photshoped to change shades slightly. When we got close we turned our best tier loose with the dyes. He came up with a close approximation.

The hook is a c49s # 12.

Bead is gold.

Thread is red.

Flashabou accent is red.

No lead.

Gold wire wrap.

See my previous post on page #8 for picture

 

Regards,

 

Don

Replenishing my supply of Micro Leeches.


Black with a hot orange bead is my favourite, and has accounted for many, many fish
