The darker back pieces can still be tied in via clumps. Try it ! 👍 I have a couple in the boat, but it's covered and I'm not in the mood to go diving for it at the moment. Will try fishinwrench 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdmidwest Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 I did just take a look at this thread. "Barely Legal" was a skin mag from the 80's by Hustler's Larry Flynt. Good looking flies. trythisonemv and ColdWaterFshr 2 "Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously." — Hunter S.

ColdWaterFshr Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 I learned a new pattern from a buddy who is a better tier than me. Its a triple articulated, double if I'm lazy. It usesthe Galloups vertical eye streamer hook, 7052 in size 1 or 2. Uses a bunch of packed in ice dubbing around a barbell for the head. Palmered marabou plumes over the TOP of stiff chenille around the shanks. And I think this is the key to keep the marabou plumes fluffed out when wet . . . the chenille fibers act to prop it up. Has great action in the water. trythisonemv and nomolites 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
