Bart Durham Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 My first attempt at the SBS smallmouth fly developed by pilecast.net. Hard fly to tie but looks really fishy to me. Got some work to do, but hopefully, I'll get better over time. We need to get this guy to join the ISA or speak at the next Blowout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgoodmanii Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 I tied one of those over the winter. You're right it's not the easiest to tie but does look to be a good fly. Pushes a lot of water but gets a little heavy for my 6wt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike G Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 http://www.intheriffle.com/fishing-videos/fly-tying/sbs-streamer/ Here's the video referred to on pilecast. It does a good job of telling the story. Right off the bat there is a negative lesson on what happens if you don't trim the butts of the fur first-trouble. It is lots easier to trim to length before it is tied down. After I got over that I enjoyed the rest. It seems to take a lot of fussing to get the head in shape. A tip of the hat to Dave for getting it on In the Rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikea Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Looks good, it'll fish just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim A Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Nice fly, bart. You could probably use 1/3 of the amount of Senyo's you used in each clump and get a smoother taper. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
