Nicely done. Great work on Bowshep's part.

 

Would that happen to be a Thunder Creek silver shiner pattern lodged in its yap?

[bowshep]

Yes it is with a double wrap wire, gold tinsel with brown and white deer tail on a #10 3x wire.

It is really nice that l was able to reproduce a copy from the book but l have already started modifying.

Thats the part that is so addicting. What if l did this. l already have 5 variations of the Thunder Creek and l was listening to ACDC at the time lol.

Nice post Dave.

 

Good looking fly Ken.

 

I was thinking about tying one of those too lately, but was questioning myself on what would take it. Now I know, thanks.

 

Time to tie some up for the weekend as it looks like it will be a quieter day at the office.

Stan l used a double wrap on the wire because l knew the water was faster than normal so it will drop quickly but in slower water you just need a single wrap. l also have added a bit of white Marabou under the wire to add more action with the tail. but don't let the Marabou extend past the tail.
