Pike flies

 

I’m still playing with the same pattern. This time in white and pink.

 

Actually I wanted to put some Flexifloss in the head, but I forgot…

 

so I’ve tied another one.

 

These flies are about 20 cm long, and tied on a Gamakatsu SC15-2H, size 5/0.

 

- I’ve started with a white rabbit zonker strip

- then some pink Ice Chenille wrapped around (1 cm of) the hook shank

- pink bucktail around the hook shank

- pink Polar Flash on top

- white saddle hackles

- and the head is white and pink lama hair, six strands of pink Flexifloss (three actually, folded double), and homemade epoxy eyes.

 

I like the look of this Flexifloss (or Crazy Legs) in the head, and they will add more movement, so I will be using this stuff more often.
