Anti-fouling game is strong on #2
Yep
Thanks.
Probably should have used one size smaller hook. I‘ll give that a try on the next batch.

Clarkman, what material is that white pearl strand in the middle?
That's flash n slinky (I used 'shrimp' here because it gives a super subtle pink hue). The titan dub has a little bit of flash in it too. I also added a little bit of flashabou layered in the middle.

Sparsest fly I've ever seen!
Playing around with trying to get a larger profile as the fry I saw this weekend were good size. Also trying to eliminate fouling by tying the squirrel using three shorter sections.
I think I’ll add crystal flash under the front two sections on the next one rather than just longer strands under the front section. That should also help reduce fouling.

Would a Steelhead eat this?
Refining this one.
In a heartbeat.
The 3906B was one of my favorite hooks, especially for Doc Spratleys and Carey Specials. Beautiful ties, as usual!!
Not if I was swinging it
With continued success using floating dragon nymphs, the several walleye on white booby minnows and the scads of winter time trout I have caught on bright colored boobies, it seems like further exploration of floating flies for sinking lines is needed. This is a booby damsel- at least sort of. Untested but it should work.

Body hackle did not turn out like I thought it would.
