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!
Would it be wise to add some weight like lead free wire or a bead since scuds are always near the bottom?
