lumpy Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 This is a recreation of a pattern my dad and I used on the Thompson River in the late 50's early 60's his reason behind the bright colors was the Thompson has a darker bottom, this would not go un-noticed. I have added the polar chenille, not in the original And it still works today. 5 Quote

monger Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 I'm curious if the fish eat this as a real "fancy egg". Seems to be just the right color Quote

bcubed Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 I'd suspect he's speaking to the Thompson proper, near Spences Bridge. Pretty classic steelhead fly Quote
FlyTrapper Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 Does anyone know the recipe to this fly? Thank you. Nick Quote
Dangus Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 I'm gonna guess. Gold tinsel Golden pheasant Hot pink chenille Magenta Polar chenille Orange saddle or schlappen. Not sure if there's a wing? Natural Mallard flank Jungle cock Orange ostrich Quote
FlyTrapper Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 Awesome, thank you once again Bron, much appreciated! Nick Quote
SilverDoctor Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 Nice reminds me of the flies I tied in the early day in BC. Quote
