Heisenberg 12 Report post Posted January 7, 2014 ^ no arguments (barring excessive sag)I'm looking at the medium/long haired cat and wondering if he would miss a clump of his fur? That looks like nice stuff for some streamers or buggers. I may have a problem... H. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flybum 95 Report post Posted January 9, 2014 This is called a T-bone. Invented by a man named Blane Chocklette. He is also the invento of the big game shanks by FishSkull. This is my first and probably last attempt at this fly :-p (that is unless it works really well) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest mud trout Report post Posted January 12, 2014 Very nice Bryan! Now, recipe? Tying instructions? Did you use marker for the dark backs? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flybum 95 Report post Posted January 12, 2014 Very nice Bryan! Now, recipe? Tying instructions? Did you use marker for the dark backs?It's called "the game changer " it's a bit of a task to tie, kind of a labour of love. The colour is a base of silver sharpie then black on top. It has a slight silver lateral line. Body material is body fur by CCT(cascade crest tools)http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tQDGJHxV28UCheck it out! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest mud trout Report post Posted January 12, 2014 Watched the video. Looks simple enough but so many steps... Very good idea to use multiply shanks, probably would be just as good with one less shank i imagine. The great thing about patterns like this is that once you get the idea the skies the limit. I'm thinking about trying this with marabou. I've trimmed marabou before on streamers and the trout don't seem to mind one bit. I like small streamers for brookies, usually the best way to catch the bigger ones! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest mud trout Report post Posted January 12, 2014 I forgot to mention, probably wrap the marabou (Gartside style) and then trim to profile. If i layer it then the profile can be accomplished without trimming. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flybum 95 Report post Posted January 12, 2014 The downside to palmering marabou for a body profile is that it's quite weak. You can stack synthetics to achieve the same results. This pattern can't really be duplicated without usin synthetics. If you were to successfully use marabou. It would take a whole package just to achieve 1 fly. The flie shown above is all synthetic material, with lots of durability(glue). You could Catch bass and pike ALL DAY and not have to change the fly. Theres no way to get that durability with a soft hackle streamer. I am interested to see what you come up with tho! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flybum 95 Report post Posted January 12, 2014 i use Gorilla Brand super glue and have never had an issue. I like the fast adhesion of the superglue. my only issue is that there is an INTENSE exothermic reaction when used with white buck tail. gets hot enough to burn you.

Guest mud trout Report post Posted January 13, 2014 Duck, this is something of what i had in mind and with the long marabou, one articulation is enough for sure. Very nice!Bryan, I did mention to tie them for brook trout so the flies would not have to be as durable as they would for Pike. But i agree the synthetics would be best for Pike flies. In hind sight I,m not sure why i said to trim marabou and have extra articulation. But i have clipped marabou to shape on certain streamers before. It's hard to kill the action of marabou. You can always leave it out back for the tail to move freely and do it's thing, so the body can be shaped as desired. I don't clip as in sharp edges with the scissors, but instead tear a few strands at a time with finger tips. The edges look frayed and blunt instead of flat and sharp. I'll have to tie this now that i've open this can of.... Then something can explain to me how to post pictures on her, yes i am that inept with computers ( actually i use an i pad).

flybum 95 Report post Posted January 13, 2014 Lol, it's all good Mud! Depends on what version you're using (mobile or full) but there is the "more reply options" button to click on. I've done a streamer is all palmered marabou and then finished it off with a rabbit collar. I used a short shank hook and tied over the marabou a way to lay it down and to make it more durable.

Guest mud trout Report post Posted January 24, 2014 Amazing tying skills Duck! I tried some dumb down versions of spey flies a while back.( I tied them small for brook trout). I used TMC 200 R hooks . They have a nice curved shank and a straight eye. I used sclappen on some for the hackle and just some regular strung hackle on others. I don't know how to marry wing quill slips so I just used mallard and or wood duck flank for the wing. They turned out Okay, I never did try them on the brookies.
