Hey Joel,
You are right. Actually, I usually do paint eyes on this series of bucktails. Even the occasional Carrie Steven's band in orange occasionally. Thanks for the input. I appreciate it.
Cheers,,
Alan

Hey Kelly,
This series of patterns would be great for large and smallmouth basses. Crappie to in small sizes (#10). It is an easy series to tye, and they are pretty tough if you take the time to coat the mylar with superglue. They would also be good for wipers,if you have those near you.

Wonderful! Paradise for the fly fisherman and some of the most beautiful trout you'll ever see. Brown trout really are the King of fish. If ever I visit Montana this is where I'd want fish, it is truly fishing nirvarna.

Alan, very nice work. I have one suggestion. Put eyes on all your flies. Statistics show that flies with painted eyes catch more fish than J.C. or no eyes. I know that takes more time in production, but the flies would be much more effective, which will enhance your reputation even more.
Cheers, Joel

Loretta, I really like the Shoulder/Wing composition. I actually like it better than the Salmon Fly. Make sure you tie one for yourself.

Hard core. beautiful, a joy to watch. I really love the music with the squeezebox: who plays this, and where can I buy a recording?

Fishing with friends, each with 50 yrs + fly fishing experience, we had an opportunity to fish this inovative fly on the Green River, Utah. I can tell you that the strike ratio to similar flys was 8 to 1 in favor of Duck's extended body fly. It would be great if these flys were available commercially for those of us who love to fish but have limited time for fly tying or the ability to do so. Thank you Mr. Duckworth for a great fishing experience.

I know it's over a year ago and I don't know if you are still looking for the keel hooks but I have about 100 each in sizes 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16.

Thank you Barry. I had been giving this streamer a lot of thought while tying the other submissions for this project. It is the only one one I have tied yet so I will have to make another one for a keepsake.

Way to go Alan! I think these would work good on the bass here too. I love bucktail streamers. Nice work on these!

Martin's idea is good. I cut a very slim piece of plastic from a sandwich baggie and use that as a shellback. Takes markers well. Seems in the spirit of the sparse material selection the original Czech and Polish fishermen had at their disposal. HAHAHA

My wife tells me that she is starting a fan club for your lurcher. And she is now looking at our tri colored Llewellyn setter Lindy with renewed interest.
