Hey Guys.
Unreal flies posted in the last week! Super tying!
Its been a little while since I sat down and tied a few, so I just messed around for a bit with some colors that have been good to me in the spring in the past. I used 2 materials that I have not used before in this fly, Finn Raccoon (I love this stuff!) and Polar Chenille (not so much love, it is fishy stuff tho). A really mixed style Heinz 57 fly with bits from hairwing tubes, Hoh-bo's, dees, Popsicles, well... you name it. Hackle tips in the tail for some butt wiggle, long shank with a size 4 short trailer. Just a cool fly that I think will get some attention if I can put it in the right spot, the marabou and raccoon should move nice.
Cheers.
