 Fly Tier: Mike McNulty |
|
Tying Instruction : 1) Wrap hook with tons of lead (Mikes own words). 2) Tie on thread at eye and secure lead to shank. 3) Tie on Marabou tail. 4) Tie on Chenille. 5) Wrap a smooth Chenille body and leave plenty of room for a collar of fur. 6) Form dubbing loop with thread and spin a fur collar. 7) Tie a neat head. Note : Mike called me in work one day "Andy you'll never believe what I've been catching fish on at the hatchery!" he said. So we met Saturday morning at the hatchery and Mike showed me a very large black Ed Shenk type Sculpin fly. I put on the usual 7X size 18 midge pattern and Mike started lobbing his size 8, lead filled, Twinkie! Before too long Mike was into a nice fish. George Cook (who has been known to hang out at the hatchery) yelled out " What did you get it on?" " A giant black midge" Mike yelled back. What ever you want to call it, it works well for Mike. He landed a 24 inch 5lb brown on Oatka with it. Now what are you going todo for an encore Mike? |
