Cool! Thx RM

Shannon steamer uses the same material. I call it the tampon fly. It works. 3 bucks for 75 yards.

Yeah I remember you tying up one of those for a swap. By the way a saltwater fish stole it so you owe me another.

Is that a "gut fly" or is it suppose to resemble something else?

[10pointer]

It wont take dye well at all...I tried everything from specialized dyes/heat etc. I literally had to use a permanant marker type liquid on it to color it in a few colors that werent made. The material is 100% polyester which is why it wont take dye easily from what I found. Too bad they didnt make it in a few more of the "good" colors

I literally think I have every color that is sold if anyone is around St. Louis and would like some. I have oranges, pinks, white, cream and some others. Let me know if you would like some and you are more than welcome to some of each color.

Bernat makes tons of similar yarns. Michaels craft store had a ton of them. Ronnie that's a stupid easy tie. Do it yourself;)!

I know, just giving you a hard time.

Gotcha. I fish a similar pattern for Whites and smallies but I twist it and let it furl together for a thicker body. It fishes like a mini senko but casts like a wet dishrag. Fun fly to fish.

I wish they made the stuff in Olive. It doesn't take dye very well.

Can we see a pic of your version? interested in it for smallies

[fishinwrench]

Sure.

The one with the chartreuse marabou tail is the best choice for smallies. Fishes like a fluke but there is a learning curve to casting it well. The stuff holds a lot of water.

I believe there's one stuck in this ones face

[Gavin]

That's the tampon fly.

[DaddyO]

Is that tied on top of the hook shank, like a SJW?
