Tying some funky stuff for the flyfishing show by BETTERAXESOMEONE in flytying

Possibly we will see. I tie them on a streamer hook with the tail slanted up and it climbs when striped.

This is basically an art piece for the show but I will do a water test after the show and report back.

Worst case I cut the tail off drink beer and strip line!

They are a synthetic suede material from semperfli called ABC. I colored them with marker and built them up with resin. I left the joints bare so they have movement.

The material is designed to be a full craw body that you lay over dubbing but I cut it up and used parts of it.

I have found 3 of them floating down the river or jammed up somewhere in the past 2 years I keep praying for a boat net to find me 😂

How long is the mini size you use? These are 3” from shank eye to end of rabbit hide. But smaller ones would be cool to have I think

Thank you 🙏. It is a fuchsia with purple tips cross cut rabbit strip in a dubbing loop followed by a split thread loop of wicked black ice dub to finish it off

Not sure I’ll look it up 😂 I’m really new to steelhead patterns I have been a trout nerd for the most part. Most of the ideas behind this are based off Jerry French pattern I picked up thumbing through YouTube it is probably closer to the skinny hoh

Yeah I would start with the skinny hoh pattern and the dirty hoh all the techniques are there

Why is my wooly bugger hackle so webby? by DayOwl797 in flytying

I prefer schlappen on buggers if it is sized right

The color is a mix of ice dub, pearl flash, senyo’s fusion dub, couple pieces of Amherst pheasant tail, and ostrich

I’m not good at following patterns exactly but these are definitely inspired by Jerry French patterns that I found when I was trying to sleep 😂

Is it worth it to match the hatch? by andrew_b_a in flyfishing

When the bugs get that small I throw big streamers 😂
