Flytyer Posted December 6, 2008 Author Share Posted December 6, 2008 Interesting ideas there Karl, go for it, knowing what you're capable of I know they'll turn out well. It seems that there would be enough interest to do another challenge before Xmas; I'll post the mandatory materials within the next day or two.

Lundvike Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Ok it took me a long time to find my peacock herl but here is the first of the two flies I had thought of. Here is the second attempt of this pattern for me I hope it shows the concept. The Suspending buzzer (a variation of the Suspender Buzzer, pg 106-107, the fly-tying bible, Peter Gathercole): I tied the in the pearl ice dub like you might tie crystal flash on a streamer fy forming a "V" around the thread. The ice dub becomes becomes gills and a little extra shine on the head. The ribbing doesn't add much but hopefully it will help keep the butt down. and yes I crowded the hook but I tried it and I can still get 4x through the eye, from the bottom up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lundvike Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 So this is the first one of this particular fly I have tried it is the second fly that I mentioned above. It is very rough but I hope it shows the concept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
