Beautiful fly. Nice neat tying. Loved the way you built an overall taper into your pattern. I will definitely be adding this pattern to my collection. Cheers
Hope you can answer this question, I've had it for a while. Fish taper from small to large at the mid point back to small then sharply to large at the tail. Why do tyers tie their feathers (schlappen) in from the tip at the mid point of a fly thereby making the heads fat, and the midsection small? Why not tie the schlappen in from the butt end of the feather and wrap forward to the tip?
There are a couple of important considerations when tying streamers. A major goal is to get the fly to push as much water as possible. Thus, the large heads on streamers. Another goal is to build bulk without adding too much mass to the fly. This may be why you frequently see the feather tied in back to front vs front to back with an added ribbing. Some things are done within the preference of a tyer for either efficiency or tying process
Whoa, that's so cool! I'm not a fly fisherman, but I'd love to learn how to make lures like these for inshore reds, trout and flounder. Subscribing now! 🇺🇲👍
