I really like those!!!! how big are they? I could see those being perfect little carp flies or small stream small-jaw.View attachment 87831

Very cool... Looks like they could be good bonefish flies too... they look similar to the Spam-n-Eggs Hawaii pattern. any chance you can share the recipe ?View attachment 87831

Love that snowshoe hair!
@clarkman they’re about an inch long on a stout size 6 saltwater hook. I thought the same for carp! Decided to whip up a couple more on jig hooks with a 3.8 tungsten and a little darker palette. If only the creek I know of that houses them intown stayed open past the 31st.

@Merle sure thing, here is the formula for the one I first post. The above is only a slight variation.
Tail- small clump of apricot marabou and a little peach schlappen. Sandwiched between two golden pheasant feathers and some white spandex rubber legs (I used shaggy dub).
Body- a mix of dubbing: White Chernobyl Afterglow, Ice Dub Shrimp Pink, Cohen’s Carp Dub Blaze Orange, a dab of Fl Pink Laser Dub and a sprinkle of copper. I like to mix dubbing… Secured with Fl Orange wire.
Head- a couple more strands of white shaggy dub, barred Amherst imitation strands (?), peach schlappen wrapped and small lead eyes.

This is the stuff that was sold to me as Amherst imitation. It’s incredibly flowy, no flash and the white is fluorescent. It has a name but I ripped off the label. Bjorn at TheFlyFisher has it.
