    Hey guys, new member here ( see intro in the flyfishing section). Here are a couple simple baitfish flies. I’ve been experimenting with Craft fur dubbing brushes lately. I know these are kind of “scruffy” looking, but I think the fish won’t mind. Actually, they will hopefully be chewed to pieces by something with some teeth!  😉

    Sorry for the crappy photos, but it’s only a smartphone

    Details:
    Billy Pate saltwater hook, size 4
    Eyes: glass beads strung on 50lb mono, melt ends to hold in place. Color end of mono black with a sharpie.
    Throat: Craft fur
    Wing: Ultra hair with a few strands of flash thrown in.
    Head: Dubbing brush loaded with craft fur and wrapped around shank   on front third of the hook, figure eight around the eyes, tie off.
    Thread: to match body color.
    Color top / back with prismacolor markers.

    Thanks, John. They are very much still “in development” so to speak. These are the first flies I’ve ever tied using a dubbing brush, so still a lot to learn there.
