I've been busy tying lately and haven't been able to write much. I have managed to find some time during my morning coffee to let you know what I have been up to lately.
As the winter temps continue to drop, I have been thinking of warmer weather. I have been experimenting with some patterns for Pike. Its not often that I wonder from my passion of Salmon and Steelhead flies, but it is a good thing to branch out and broaden your skills.
I will admit that deer hair is by far my least favourite material to work with, I like feathers more haha.
Here is the fly I tied last night, pretty simple pattern, Rabbit Zonker strip, Bucktail, and Deer hair for the head.
I like to take a permanent marker to the under side of the rabbit hide and give it a barred look.
Over all I like it, I still need to glue eyes on it, hopefully my nest one will go a little smother, and soon I will be tying these with different colour hair.
Thanks
Chris
