Menhaden

[keith b]

Has anyone tied a fly to imitate a Menhaden?
I tried finding a tutorial last night, but all I can find are finished flies for sale.

Try looking up Bunker Fly.

Thanks Bob.
I have heard of Bunkers before.

You need to get on to Dave Skok’s website http://dwskok.com/step-by-steps.htm

Skok is a New England striper bum who ties some killer patterns.  Check out his Peanut Mushy for juvie bunker or his Mega Mushy for adults.  The steps for the Mega Mushy just involve his Mega Mushy flash material and slinky fiber – you can also substitute yak hair for the slinky fiber with a sparse amount of flash.  Important step is the use of the glue along the super hair spine: http://saltwaterflies.com/skoksbunker.html

I’d just tie up some grey/white

Mark Sedotti is the man for big menhaden patterns. Google up some of his flies.

Check out the fly tying section on surf talk, there’s tons of peanut bunker flies, some quite large.
