A variation on Tom Nixon's Albino Serpent tied using Pacchiarini DragonTail & Ahrex Trout Predator streamer hook in sz. 4/0. Plan on using the FF909 to launch this sucker. Primarily to be used for big LMB, but I wouldn't be mad if a Striper or Channel Cat grabbed it either!

Very interesting pattern. How is this Marona fly fished, as a streamer?

I love simple patterns.

Going with something that has a little more color profile of the pikeminnow our tiger muskies feed heavily on. The top is more for me to see easier as most often the tigers are looking up at them. It really is the same basic style that I typically fish, bucktail feathers, flash. I did throw in a couple of shanks behind the hook to add some length and extra movement. These fish are never tail biters, so I like to keep the hook near the front (or at least halfway back on some of my other patterns) but never in the back.




Cheers!

Thank you Troman. I think this pattern would be very effective for white bass here in the Texas Hill Country in their spring spawning runs. For whatever reason, they seem to love sparse Clousers and other variants - the sparser then pattern, the better they like it.

Thanks again!

Try that simple recipe with other, colored hackles wings and hackle -- orange, yellow, white and red hackles, and black -- in different sizes and sometimes with the wings in a "V" . Smallmouth and LM bass love them. Been using them for years -- rrr, decades.

Whitlock/Gartside Hopper mashup:



Used Kelly Galloup’s treatment of using Golden Pheasant tippet as an underwing for the hopper with Ringneck pheasant almond heart feather for overwing:



Here’s link to Galloup’s Gartside Hopper:

Very nice dries, EB.

It's been a while since I was at the vise. Cranked out some Garcia's Rojo Midges this morning, on #18 and 20 Firehole 317 hooks -

I'm not sure if I clipped the dental floss gills too short. How do people usually fish these ? I tied them mainly because I saw some pictures and they looked neat :)

Watched the video at Dakota Angler and gave the Smoke Jumper a try :

Image

Firehole 316, size 18 and 20, with natural stripped peacock herl and olive dubbing. I used "natural dun" CDC, since I did not have the recommended "cream" color (on order, ha !)

Incidentally, I fished last weekend on a stretch of river I hadn't fished before. I was all set to euro nymph, and caught some that way, but in the afternoon the fish were taking emergers on the surface. Small klinkhamers did the trick. I noted small stonefly-like bugs hatching at the time. Lucky ...

Yesterday tied a couple variants using different capes from a Whiting CDL Pardo, Metz Chocolate dun and a Collins Grizzly capes. All tails are from the CDL (Coq de Leon) cape. Hooks used are all from Mustad (model 94842 and 94840) size 14, 12 and 8.

Sister Twister Tail?

Image
....with (the end of) at least one feather molded into a curve with fabric cement. So it twists and flutters when stripped. You do need a swivel built into either the fly or the leader.

They really work. You have to keep the molded part out near the tip (don't mold the whole feather) of one feather only, else they become too hard to cast. Fish rise up out of the weeds and chase these things like crazy.

No video of that fly but here is how I mold the end of a saddle feather, with a square of plastic and the barrel of a ballpoint pen
