Skirted Super Flash Fly

[Pup]

Faceted beads in the tail make this one interesting in my opinion. The clear beads give off quite a bit of reflection under fluorescent and incandescent lights.

That's a cool bait, I bet a few bass will eat it.

I agree with Jim, should get some attention from Bass. I also would think Pike wouldn't hesitate to smash that fly. Neat concept for sure.

Nice work

Thank you all for your comments.

This was fun to create and, maybe, not so fun to finish tying. That's typical of working with initial ties of newer designs.

I'm finally becoming comfortable with wrapping chenille over what is essentially an egg-shaped sinker.

Crazy tye - I like it! Bet it makes noise too.

Thanks LedHed. "Crazy tye" is a nice description of this bait. I like that too.

I'm going to have fun fishing this one.

You're going to keep on till you are going to become more imbalanced than me . If ya ain't already . Thinking outside the box gets people to saying "That boy ain't right " . But then when ya do good work like that it just kinda justifies everything .

Thank you for the nice words TF.
