What's under the body that is going to allow it to stay upright.?...I ask this because I noticed your bead chain is on the top of the fly which ,like a clouser, will cause the fly to ride hook up....so your fly will ride upside down....

 

Other than that it looks like its ...
Beadchain
Red yarn
Craft fur
Magic marker to color craft fur.
Silver Mylar tube
Hook, probably a tiemco


Ill do a sbs later

 

I just posted the picture from another site. It's not my fly. I thought some of you seasoned salties might have run across it before. Like I said in my original post, It is from Connie "Mack" Moran's studio in League City.

I'm just an informationgatherer scavenger.......

Heck, the reason I weat boots is because I struggle with laces. Go figure.:bounce:

 

I reckon I'll call up and buy some.....maybe do an autopsy on one just for S&G's.

 

I don't care for the proportions on that fly. I'm sure it'll catch fish (**** near anything will), but I think there's a lot of room for improvement there.

 

Yeah, but you have to admit, it DOES look like a baby croaker.

 

ive never caught any trout on a fly that big mine have all come on smaller flues#6 or#4.maybe the under body has some type of foam to keep it upright.

 

I will post the gory details soon. I called up "Mack" at his studio this morning. First, what a nice guy. Sometimes, you can tell, even over the phone, that a person is someone you want to be around.

Anyhoo, I ordered a couple of the croakers, some piggy perch, and some shad flies, along with a bunch of the pre-cut spoon fly material.

So, like I sad, I'll post more info. later on.:texasflag
