another easy to tie fly that i created for Pacus . actually i created this patent on site....the pacus are going crazy, everyone is getting strikes except me...the reason is im using a small size 12 fly ...the guys are using bigger size ones, 6 or 5 sized.
well...pantang kok jika minjam fly dari temen2...its a matter of face if you know what i mean.
i do not have any hook bigger than size 10....so i use a size 10...and try to create a bigger body and it must be light..so this is actually a simple on site tied fly and it works.
later i refine this fly by adding the green wet hackle....i call it FACE...coz it did save me some face at that time.


first tie in a strand of marabou as tail...then wip the rest back

then wrap the remaining marabou up the shanks.....this was how the original tied on site fly looks the 1st time.....i got 3 pacus on a patent like this

later models comes with a wet hackle. just split a flank feather into two using a sharp pen knife

tie one half of the flank feather just before the hook eye and give it a few wrap and tie off
