Another scrappy photo for you guys. I've been searching for some less seen patterns and of course I found this one on the phantoms site. I used B&G macaw body feather for the body veil since I don't have toucan. It's Tied on an altered vintage mustad.

That bright yellow burst would really attract some attention!! I could have used that this morning on the Rogue, but I'd have probably hung it on the same rock as my Carron. T-11 on intermediate was knocking the hellgrammites off the rocks!

You fished on a weekend and didn't tell me Bob?!?!? Fired!! Haha you find any fish?

Super! Very Nice with the smooth tinsel body over a looped blind hook - Not easy to do.

I'm really glad someone recognized that! I really struggled with getting it smooth, I used braided mono for the eye and the hook was straightened (mostly) so it left me with a very tough platform. Mylar would have made it easy but who wants That?!?

Sorry amigo. I had only a few hours, and wanted to fish that old Hardy Uniqua I just bought from James Reid. What a beauty! I'm surprised you didn't hear me ripping line off! :chuckle:

Sweet fly, that hook is great.

Nice clean tie and cool hook

 

[Jabrowning24]

Thanks for the kind words guys, for being just a simple Dee I really put a lot of work into this guy! That body was rough

 

[Honyuk96]

Josh, it's tough to tell from the photo. I'm curious if you applied a type of finish to that hook or was it original like that ?

 

[Jabrowning24]

Just that old mustad bronze color. It was an eyed hook that James Reid straightened out.

Nice, might have to try that one.

Is the forward body tinsel, rib then hackle?

You got it. The entire body is tinsel but is separated at the mid point by black wool

Ok now I see it, thanks
