Red Tail

Post by newriverspey » Sat Mar 20, 2021 10:49 am

This is similar to Bob's ( joaniebo) recent post and hopefully great minds think alike. This really has been a good pattern for me on a local tailwater that I fish.

Hook: Dohiku #18
Tail: Red hackle fibers
Body: Arizona peacock dubbing and tinsel wrap
Collar: Partridge
Thread: Black nano silk

newriverspey, Howdy;

Otto, always enjoy seein' what your seal chokes-up. So much nicer then fur balls from a cat. :lol:

Lovely fly.
