I have been tying a lot of seaducers (hackle flies) lately. I have this crazy idea to try to and catch as many species of fish as possible on a seaducer this coming year. Below is a picture of some of my favorites so far. Sorry for the crappy iPhone pic. Some are for saltwater and others for bass and I have one I want to try on trout. Two of my favorites are tied on 3/0 worm hooks. Not much room to work with on those hooks, but should ride hook up. Plan to drag them on the bottom using a full sinking line. Wish me luck with my goal.
Great Seaducers Mickey. Let us know how they work. IMHO, it might be a bit too cold this weekend for “good” Seaducer fishing on the river. Also, the barometer in your area (I checked) will be a bit off – thus that style of fishing might be challenging. Post a reply and let us know how it goes.
FYI, here is a tutorial I posted a while back on the Seaducer http://flyartstudio.com/wordpress/?p=432
Great tutorial Neal. I have been using your technique for the tail to prevent fouling and it seems to work really well.
Mickey, seriously let me know if you end up catching any trout in cold/moving water with the Seaducer (and if so what size, color, etc). I am keeping a log and to date have noticed very little action with the trout on the river.
Bad weather has had me stir crazy so I started tying some seaducer variations and then decided to try an articulated fly. This is pretty much a rip off of the Galloup style flies but instead of deer hair or wool, I tied in hackle. Others may have done this before but I haven’t seen this. I am callingit Seaducers Spawn. Looks great jerk stripped in my swimming pool!
