Mystery Minnow Video

Here is that video I promised. Hope you enjoy!

Mystery Minnow

I was messing around with different flies and came up with this fly. I am still working to make it better but it is fairly good. I want to to try it out this spring and hopefully catch a big trout. It is triple articulated but instead of the middle hook I used a articulation shank.

The materials I used was:

• #6 Orvis hooks
• White marabou
• Green or black hackle
• Ice chenille
• Rubber legs
• Lead eyes
• Craft fur in a dubbing loop for head

To go into further detail I will try to tape a video on my You Tube channel.

Rabbit Nymph

I just tied this rabbit nymph today. I started out tying on the bead chain eyes then the flash tail. For the body I just wrapped mylar tinsel up to the eyes. I took a small clump of the rabbit fur from a zonker strip and tied it in with the tips facing right. I put my thread back behind the eyes then pulled the rabbit back. Then I whip finished and cut my thread. If you want you can add some head cement.

Supplies used: 
Hook: #14 dry fly 
Tail: flash
Body mylar tinsel
Eyes: small bead chain eyes
Wing/Head: clump of rabbit fur
