You are certainly wetting my appetite to cast once more Alan and I'm curious as to whether or not home tied lures would tempt the predatory course fish in our waters, i.e. Pike and Perch.

A slight variation of his traditional by me using teal flank instead of standard duck flank. Is size 8 it worked quite well. I'm tying a bunch, 1st because they are fairly easy, 2nd for a semi planned trip for head waters of Ct river next late spring/summer. A killer streamer for that region so they tell me.<br /><br />Yours look a whole lot better then mine ever did.....PhilDRYFLYGUYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11014193042361579019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-32963040574641798432018-12-15T10:41:05.552-05:002018-12-15T10:41:05.552-05:00Alan

He is better known in the saltwater community, but "miniaturizing" his marabou patterns is a great way to crossover to trout fishing, and you are doing a bang up job of that.
