Tim A Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 So I've been on a bit of an articulated streamer kick lately. Mostly I've been doing the same body and experimenting with different heads. Here's a recipe for the body (which is the same for front and rear): Hooks: TMC 200R #4, Mustad 34001 #1 Tail: Marabou Body: Ice Dub (normally dubbed) "Hackle": Dubbing loop of FTD's "Sea Dragon Dubbing" (mix of angora & rubber legs), palmered like hackle. Wing: Zonker/Rabbit strip Joint: 25# mono threaded through 3 small glass beads Flash: Pearl Flashabou Head options: Ice Dub, Senyo Dub, SF blend, Fish Skull With a Fish Skull Head: Ice Dub: Finally, since I can't leave a fly alone until I try it with a V-style or "Kinky" head made of SF, here is my Kinky Tickler ("tickler" because it's ar-'ticul'ated): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Kral Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 They all look awesome! I really like the looks of the Ice Dub fly on the left, the one w/out fish skull. I need to give some of these a shot as well. Nice ties. Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Gillio Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Fish catchers, no doubt. They all have a great look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom L Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Tim, These are awesome looking flies. Really like the yellow and white one. What make the pink cheek? Maker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim A Posted January 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Thanks for the positive feedback, all. I appreciate it. Tom, the pink cheek is the same material as the rest of the head. On the yellow/white, it is Ice Wing (longer version of Ice Dub), and on the Kinky fly it is the same as SF blend but a different brand.
