Very Nice! Vlad,

so glad you are posting some saltwater pattern! I am just thinking to try out and tie some patterns for stripers. The winter fishing is getting ready here! : )

Thanks Mark!

These are kind of fun to tie... I used Neer Hair (similar to EP fibers) for the head-trimmed muddler style. Give them a try and happy striper hunting!

Wow! Great work Vlad--as always.

Thanks, Marcus!!!

All my best,
Vlad

Marcus said...

What kind of hook is that Vlad?

It's Gamakatsu Finesse Wide Gap (size 3/0) in black nickel finish. I really like the shape of it.

Great looking fly. I bet it looks fishy underwater.

Thanks, Cameron! The flatwing style makes it work well underwater, while synthetic head doesn't absorb water, so it remains easy to cast.
