I wanted to make u something nice thats what came out.
It's guys like u who make this site funn..Thats why u get one.
Not as perfect as i wanted.For it's thinnish profile It's a little on the heavy side comin in at 2.3 or 2.4.will perform well in bigger or deeper water.i get the feelin though thats not the right weight that'll give ya lots o use.That blue as u know is a killer color.I also have a thing for that color an needles.works well for me.I hope u fish it.Good Luck.

It's not marker. It's the blue bucktail on top rapped forward an then back.There's a name for the technique but damn if i know.I ran the thread a little big on it so not as much shows as i would have liked.
Eddie if I woulda known it was gonna be christmas at ur house this week i would have sent it to someone else.

I think it's just called reverse wrapped bucktail. Kinda like the thunder creek flies right?

Like I said i would have to look in a book to find the name.First I would have to find the book an then look it up.
I think traditionally it is a reverse pattern.I put a NIB twist on it.the original is a old pattern was effective As a fly due to the big head it would form.(pushes alot of water)
