bowshep Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Your Welcome. Thank you for getting me hooked on tieing but my friends are mad because l don't get out much any more what an addiction. Peace Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJL Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Nicely done. Great work on Bowshep's part. Would that happen to be a Thunder Creek silver shiner pattern lodged in its yap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowshep Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 (edited) 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.

wuchikubo Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowshep Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 (edited) 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.
