Materials: Use
any material that will separate (Floss, Yarn, etc) and use a wide range of hooks
for different fish.
I used fancy chalk line for these
but, for great bait-fish imitations, you may want to use
"Plastic-canvas" yarn (it separates well), on larger hooks. You
can also tie the wings in two colors on top and bottom.
These are easy to
tie flies that work well for Bluegill, Bass, and even Pike.
Since there is no tie-in of materials at the bend of the hook for the fish to
tear apart
they seem to last longer than regular streamer patterns.
If you
separate the
wings with a bodkin you will see there are two. Here's how they are tied:
Instructions
Lay thread, yarn, or floss on the top of the hook having about two inches past
the hook bend, and about an inch-and-a-half past the
eye. Then wrap thread over the whole thing until you come to about two eye widths behind
the eye.
Pull up the piece hanging off the front and wrap thread to an eyes width behind
the eye.
Wrap yarn around up to this wing,
then wrap past it, and tie off at eye.
Pull toward rear of hook and tie up a head.
Now pull both wings past the hook bend and trim.
Separate the strands and you are finished.
