Fly: Showgirl
(stinger variation)
Hook: salmon # 4 (size doesn't really matter as
we're going to cut this hook)
Trailing Hook: Gamakatsu octopus # 2
Thread: 8/0 orange
Rear body: two cerise marabou plumes
Mid body: pink krystal flash and mirror flash
Front body: purple marabou plume
Hackle: Kingfisher blue schlappen
Instructions:
De-barb the trailing hook and tie it on the base hook
using fire line or
equivalent. I like to coat the tread covering the
fire line with an
adhesive (e.g. Sally Hansen's Hard As Nails) but this is
optional. Add in a
cerise marabou plume and repeat. Hint: wet the
marabou as you palmer it to
control the fibres. Add some flashy material such as
krystal flash,
flashabou, or mirror flash. Then tie in a purple
marabou plume. Try not to
overdo the purple as we want the cerise colour to stand
out. Cover the
purple marabou with a few turns of blue schlappen.
Whip finish and add head
cement. Use wire cutters to cut the base hook,
leaving just the trailing
hook behind!
