Hoping for an angry Barracuda in the Bahamas next week.

A generic lake pattern that is a little bit small damsel and a little bit big mayfly. It does have three of what I consider important materials- marabou, Partridge and hares ear.. so it should work.


Hook: TMC 5262 #12 or similar 2X long nymph hook
Tail: olive marabou about hook length
Body: olive hair's ear
Rib: Copper Uniwire
Legs: olive partridge
wingcase: turkey with UV resin

Great looking ties guys! Your sparkle damsel tie is great too @Norm Frechette , just didn't take the reply link above I guess.

 

[Tom Butler]

Hopefully this black simiseal and marabou will hold up better, but catch as many fish..

This is the second time I've remariboued this BMW for the kids pond. Better than bait.

 

[Tombraider]

Ok, first go at these. Hope.

I so enjoy tying and fishing the Doc Spratley and many variations thereof.

 

[Kfish]

Trying some glass rattle eye for bass flies.

 

[clarkman]

Is it a stonefly nymph? A baby sculpin? A baby crayfish?

I dunno what the fish think of this pattern other than they often think it's taste-worthy....mostly pheasant.

Yes indeed. I lost my primary egg box which also had a bunch of these in it. Kinda the perfect tool fly this time of year
