ladystrange Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 Tying Materials Hook: 14 or 16 dry Thread: UTC 6/0 Black Tail: mule deer Body: peacock herl Wing: white calf's tail Thorax/head: brown hackle palmered Quote
Inconnu Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 Nice job on the hackle! Great pattern and that mule deer tail stabalizes it and helps it float. I don't think I have ever tied a Trude pattern and so now I must. Thanks! Quote
ladystrange Posted October 13, 2007 Author Posted October 13, 2007 i got a little crazy on the calfs tail with this one. you could probably do with 1/2 that amount. this is a great pattern for the carbondale and castle river basins for cutts. it is very visable even in the foam and stays afloat very well even without gink or bugfloat i think i used furnace hackle on this one Quote
Inconnu Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 Thanks I was wondering if it was furnace or a dark ginger. Quote
Tuppsincomprehensible Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 Very nice fly. It appears to represent a sedge of some type. Is this correct or is it tied up as something else? Quote
ladystrange Posted October 14, 2007 Author Posted October 14, 2007 Very nice fly. It appears to represent a sedge of some type. Is this correct or is it tied up as something else? sort of a sedge. it can have the movement of a sedge if you skate it across the water, expecially when mending. but to be honest. i got the pattern from a friend who got it from a shop in the town nearest to the rivers he fishes, and they got it from an oldtimer in the area. i don't even know what the name of the pattern is. i just copied the pattern from the original fly from the shop. i'm not sure if it is even supposed to be a sedge. all i know is that it works when nothing else will but mostly for cutthroats and rainbows. tie up a few and let me know how it works on your side of the pond Quote
Guest bigbadbrent Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 its definitly a Trude, you can get them in different colors (like a royal wulff, lime etc) and they're named for their color, then Trude (Green trude, peacock trude, royal trude, lime trude (most popular) etc) and they represent caddis, stoneflies (lime sallys in green), mayflies in smaller sizes.. etc Quote
Tuppsincomprehensible Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 I will most certainly have a go at tying some. Will fish them and let you know. Please don't expect much as my fishing is almost as poor as my flytying - lousy HUH!!! Will post you my results. Regards Geoff Quote

Flytyer Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 It seems not many fish the trude styles much.....such a shame as at times they are far better than anything else you could tie on. Quote

Regards Geoff i don't believe you. i've heard otherwise on both accounts. lol definately let me know how it works out. i am curious. this pattern works very well for me on small streams even when there isn't a hatch on. maybe BECAUSE there isn't a hatch. i don't know. i have used it on the bow, but no success with it yet.
