Guest bigbadbrent Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Tied this up for last night's night fish. Caught 3 browns, and was impressed considering none of my other EHC's were working (i double or triple dry fly rig when im night fishing now) Size 14 Tail/Shuck: Loop of krystal flash Body: Golden brown ice dub, grizzly hackle palmered and copper wire Underwing: krystal flash wing: natural elk hair I tie in the shuck by looping it over my whip finish tool, then tying it back in, makes a nice little ball, though if it's ratty i doubt it would really matter.. i don't know if they take it for a shuck, or a egg laying caddis or whatever, they like it (bow river fish, love the flash..they're so gangsta) shows the bubble butt better 2 minute tie, 2/10 on difficulty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawgstoppah Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 considering none of my other EHC's were working Wow... really? All I ever use is the good old standard EHC but in a #18... your not fishing 'em too big are ya? Just a thought. Last night was a 15 fish night for me... with at least 7-8 on the standard EHC. This is a pretty sweet pattern though, and maybe this'll sound silly, but you could be fishing over more educated fish than I am right now ;) . I like to walk 10 minutes or more from an access and I don't fish in town for my dry fly fishing though *wink* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
