Great SBS, and a super fly, thanks for posting
Great fly but what hook is that. they look like they have some serious hooking ability compared to regular hooks. Thanks for the pattern.
Billy
i tried this fly in italy, it realy works, great pattern.
felicitari din partea uni incepator intr-ale muscaritului. daca nu ma insel ai si o imitatie super de corobete
I really like the fly, what sizes of hooks
are they?
What hook is that? Partridge CZ or CZF?
Petty deadly looking pattern! I’ve got to add a few of those to my repertoire!
a very nice nymph
What hook is that; pick your size in scud hooks. This fly could work in various sizes for many fish, since from 20% to 90% of most growing fish’s diets are scuds of some sort.
great catcher. I believe in it.
Great fly, I’ll try it on Pere Marquette this season.
Felicitari!
Great simple fly. Try groundhog in place of hare for a variation
super looking nymph i will tie a few up and try them over here on the river Suir.
Reusite Lucii ,am si eu un model asemanator .
Hook size, a bit of local entomology may give you an idea as to what size!
awesome pattern…real easy to tie…and some really good detail…especially the body segments!
