"The White" (variation)

[Englander]

Hi Guys

Instead of posting a picture of the fly all pristine in the vice i thought id post this one of it nailed by a 5 lb Rainbow (proof in the pudding and all that)

"The White" is a Dansh salt water sea trout pattern that ive been playing with along with "The Magnus" i stumbled across it on Global fly fisherman web site there a full step by step on there.

Its proved a real killer on still water rainbows the one below was one of five landed on sunday not including two hooked and lost and one snap off !



It has a Humungus look about it, not sure which came first ? i tie mine as follows

Hook: Knapek barbless streamer size 6

Thread: Uni -white

Eyes: chain

Rib: 4lb mono

Tail: White Arctic fox tail

Body: Pearl Glister sparkle dubbing

Palmered hackle: White cock hackle

Tips:

# Dont use too much fox it bulky

# Remember to rough up the dubbing "before" palmering the hackle

# Use an over sized hackle feather and 5-6 turns bushy is best !

# Tie your eyes in underneather (unless you want it to swim upside down)

Enjoy ....................................

Hi Guys

Did anyone tie and try this pattern ????

Well just to let you know its working very well on winter Rainbows this season too




Out of interest ive tied it in other colours but didnt like the look of them ! I do however love the use of Arctic fox for the tail in this pattern.

Enjoy

That hook is laying funny to be taken that way
If you can see what I mean, sort of looks like it went in from the outside and not taken in the mouth.
