I had a request for a SBS last week..while this isnt the same fly as requested, it would show any tier how to tie it ..just change out body and front hackles..presto
I tie almost all my shank flys the same, just subbing out materials and colors to change, size and silhouette and movement and aesthetics and all that...just fancy wooly buggers lol.....Check out "the tube fly" by ken swada or anything by PAul Miller for ideas!
I get asked a lot at shows or thru my website about tying and process
I know my tying is grounded in ok technique (from tying for years lol)
and I try to be a little different no matter the genre of fly (saltwater, steel, trout etc..) but Im totally intimidated by Speys, and dees and I am going to challenge myself to tie some this fall and winter ....thanks to all the support I see and feel here ..Its been a rough year & 1/2 of my life and im happy to be coming out other side (Divorce and ****
The Pattern
Shank 40mm
AFW 22lb wire
Med Nickle Dumbells
Estatz
3 Ringneck rump feathers
Turkey TAil Fibres
Pearl braid
Fine Wire

Long Jungle Cock
Long Fibred HAckle
Bronze MAllard
Amherst Fibres

Ringneck Rump in brown tied against estaz and faced 270 degrees with turkey fibres tied in individually
Body:tie in order on bottom/backside of fly
Pearl braid
Fine Wire
Chart Schlappen (stripped 1/2)
Wind braid, followed by schlappen followed by counter rib of wire to in front of Dumbells
Front Assembly
2 ringneck rump feathers in Brown tied infront of dumbells

Thanks for looking!
