Jeremy Hunt Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 Where did you hear about this one? And can you give me some idea what materials it calls for. jh Accept the drift.....<>>><flysandguides.comVisit my blog
motroutbum Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 Yeah. Its Lance Egan's fly. It was a great help to have that fly on the kings river this weekend. Hook: TMC 2487 #12-20 Thread Red 8/0 Bead: Nickel Tungsten or Pearl glass bead Tail: 3 phesant tail fibers Abdomen: Flashabou-pearl medium for smaller sizes, large for larger sizes Thorax: Wapsi Rainbow dubbing Wingcase: flashabou-pearl There are two types of people. Those who dream dreams and wish, then there are the do'ers. I am a do'er!

Jeremy Hunt Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 Oh, I know that pattern. I thought this was a River Run Outfitter fly tied by Carolyn. I think she called it the lighting something....I never fished it though. It's a catchy fly, kind of like an attractor pattern. Accept the drift.....<>>><flysandguides.comVisit my blog
Danoinark Posted October 31, 2006 Author Posted October 31, 2006 Jeremy, I first heard of the pattern when Steve Dally said it was hot on Beaver. Terry That is it. Thanks I saw it also in the Feathercraft catalogue. They have them in red, black and pearl. I assume the thread ab is covered with the flashabou? I guess for the pearl version you would use white thread. Wonder how the wing case is tied in? Can you help us motroutbum? Dano Glass Has Class "from the laid back lane in the Arkansas Ozarks"
motroutbum Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 yes that is the pattern. for the pearl one, you use red thread, just as the picture shows. It started in the Umpqua catalog, well at least that is where he originally submitted it. It is a very effective pattern. There are two types of people.

jOrOb Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 It looks alot like the Lightning bug that was hot on the White last fall. Those were tied with black thread though. jOrOb "The Lord has blessed us all today... It's just that he has been particularly good to me." Rev MacLean
motroutbum Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 Not really....a lightening bug is tied like a phesant tail on a straight shank hook and uses peacock as the thorax not dubbing. It is tied with krystal flash and not flashabou. There are two types of people. Those who dream dreams and wish, then there are the do'ers. I am a do'er!
Danoinark Posted November 2, 2006 Author Posted November 2, 2006 motrout Is the flashabou (pearl) tied to cover the thread by palmering over it, and how is the wingcase tied in? When tying the black is the flashabou covering the thread again. Flashabou being a transparent material I assume that's how one gets the various color designs. The ones in the catalogues says black, pearl and red. Dano Glass Has Class "from the laid back lane in the Arkansas Ozarks"
