Fly Tying

GEORGE'S FLY - from Carole
Hook size 8/10 Dark Maroon/green thread. Dark Maroon/green Chenille or dubbing Flashabou Maroon/green Guinea Fowl - small dot Copper wire Cape hackle 1. Crimp barb and set in vise 2. Starting at the eye, wind on tying thread to bend of the hook. 3. Tie in Guinea feather about 1/2 inch extending beyond the hook 4. Tie in 4-6 pieces Flashabou, make them the same length as the feather 5. Tie in a length of copper wire 6. Remove some of the fibers from the end of a 4" each of chenille, tie in the bare section. (you can use dubbing at this point ). Take thread up to just behind the eye of the hook. 7. Wind chenille over shank in tight turns, to the just behind the eye of the hook, about 1 eye length back. Secure and remove waste. 8. Select a soft- fibered hackle and catch it in at the eye, heavy end, not the tip. 9. Using Hackle pliers, wind it down the shank in evenly spaced turns, going in the opposite direction from the chenille, right to the tail. 10. Wind the copper wire to the eye in evenly spaced turns, locking the hackle in place, remove excess wire and hackle. 11. Build a small tapered head and cast off. This is the fly I was using at the hatchery with great success. My cousin's husband, George made this fly and had a lot of success with it and he wouldn't tell his fishing buddies what he was using, just said it was his fly, hence the name 'George's fly'. The thing that is different about this one is the hackle is tied in at the front and wound backwards. |
