Another attempt/variation at a "Schoolie Fly". Bob Popovic's answer to when predator species are hyper-keyed on tiny bait. As albacore have been reported to be recently. Was hoping to test this tomorrow, but a low pressure system coming in has other ideas.

Tied on a 3/0 U-401. 30# FC for the outrigger flies. Rough, but I think will fish OK...

Nothing special but not bad for 2 days after rotator cuff surgery; literally tied with one arm strapped to my chest. Hardest part was re-adjusting height of tying station so I could use my hand (will have to get my wife to help me raise my chair). Won’t be doing anything intricate for a while but I can still keep my hands busy.

hook - WFC Model 6 #10
thread - Uni 8/0 black
tail - partridge
rib - medium tinsel opal
counter rib - small wire silver
body - Ice Dub hare’s ear
hackle - grizzly
shoulder - pheasant rump
collar - hen grizzly dyed Silver Doctor Blue (2 packs Koolaid Ice Blue Raspberry/1 cup water)

Scott
My sympathies, Scott. Wife had hers done back in Feb. Ummm no thanks.

No worries. Couldn’t fish at all this year or do much of anything useful with my right arm; I can live with some post- surgical pain as well as anything from the physical therapist as long as I get the functionally back.

Scott
Good luck, sounds like you have the right attitude :)
