THIS IS ONE HELL OF A GOOD SOCKEYE FLY Materials List Hook: Standard salmon hook #10-2 Thread: 6/0 Body: Wrapped pearl flashabou Wing: Chartreuse Calf-tail Hackle: Chartreuse saddle hackle LETS GET TYING!! Step 1 - Insert the hook into the vice and coat the shank with thread. Step 2 - Tie in a small bunch of flashabou near the rear of the hook Step 3 - Wrap the flashabou up to the eye of the hook and tie it off Step 4 - This step is not completely necessary, but it certainly helps to make a more sturdy fly. Take a drop or two of head cement or softex and coat the flashabou body with it. Step 5 - Select a very sparse portion of calf tail and tie it in. Again please let me reiterate, a VERY SPARSE portion of calf tail, we‘re talking probably 20-25 stands……. Step 6 - Select a saddle hackle feather and tie it in. Step 7 - Now wrap the feather one time around the shank and tie it off. You’re looking essentially for a sparse collar of feather fibers. Step 8 - After you have tied off the hackle feather, trim the excess, build a small head, whip-finish, and dab on a little glue. The fly is done!! The sparseness of the fly is something that reds seem to like. Color is a tough one though. You may want this in several colors and indeed several sizes to match the mood of the fish on any particular day. Good Luck!!! Courtesy of Max AKA FlashBackMax
