This is another fly in the "Brook Series"...this is pattern #1. I've already posted pattern #3. This is also a streamer that uses feathers from the pheasant and is tied like a soft hackle.
This fly takes the look of a baitfish when stripped in, it's also quite life like in somewhat still water because of the soft hackle breathing, and pulsating. On its first outing it performed well with many strikes and a few to hand.
Hook, Mustad 38941 #10...Body, Red Floss...Tag and Rib, Flat Silver Tinsel...Hackle, Rump Feather from Ringneck Pheasant a reddish brown color...Followed by a Rump Feather from a RN Pheasant, a Golden Color...Head Peacock Herl.
Here are a few fish that found pattern #1 hard to resist.

Almost as good as coffee and sunshine.
Your streamer looks great Alan, clearly the trout think so too.

Great looking fly Alan. Looks like it's easy to tie and a real fishgetter!

It is quite simple, and the first try was pretty good.

ReplyDeleteOutstanding work at the bench, I would have to tie a few extras, just to make sure I kept one to display with all the other patterns you have shown us. Thanks for sharing

I do tie a few extra, but not for display. These are truly fishing flies.
