Guest rich mc Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 very nice, you are winning so far as its the only one ive seen except mine. the best part of this contest is learning about new material or ways it is tied. the judges are planning to give it the tank test to see how it comes alive in the water. rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted February 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 Rich, the one nice thing about this fly is that the two pair of saddle hackles add a nice undulating movement on a strip and stop retrieve. Also when it does come to rest on the bottom the hackles must be more buoyant as they they tend to raise upward kind of like a craw in a defensive position. And the truth is that I'm pathetic in trying to tie realistic flies and do much better with the impressionistic ones if I can add some movement.
