"The Eric Fly"

[Guest Jim S.]

So it shall be called in my world. After he posted the springtime must have baits, kind of wanted a silver shiner looking fly. Nothing new I'm sure, just a Shenks Streamer with a Charcoal rabbit strip. Will let it float with the current and see what happens.

Meaty looking fly. Was the rabbit strip palmered or laid lengthwise on the hook shank?

needs an eye. either a flat stick on or paint one on using scribbles t shirt paint 1oz bottles are 1.29 at hobby lobby many colors some have sparkle and some are glow in the dark. rich mc

Pattern?

 

Can't wait to see how Eric does on it the first time he tries it.

[Eric]

Nice one Jim! I'm honored.

[Guest Jim S.]

Tom, the rabbit strip is laid length ways with the hook. The back is tied in before palmering the white rabbit, then ties off at the front after trimming the white.

 

Rich, totally agree and will be adding them.

 

Mike, it's a Shenk's Streamer pattern with the extra strip on top.

 

Eric, no problem, the idea popped in my head from your post.

[Guest Jim S.]

Now with eyes and a better look.

Nice.

I have to ask what you are displaying them on? It looks to be some type of shirt.

It's a dead deer. Or maybe a blue baseball cap.

[jude]

Nice looking flies by the way.

[Terry Dodge]

It's a dead deer.

 

That don't surprise me.

 

I can see the hat now. Thanks Jude.

Reminded me of this one:

Are you sure it's a deer Jude???
