Black and Orange Marabou Wet Freshwater Hook : Gamakatsu S10 - size 8. Tail : Orange cock hackle fibres. Body : Gold Mylar ribbed with gold oval. Hackle : Orange Cock hackle. Wing : Black Marabou. Head : Thread, varnished.
Tying Instructions 1) The orange cock hackle should be tied in. 2) Then the thread wound back over it to get it to lie almost parallel to the body. 3) Then tie in the marabou.
Fly Notes Other colour combinations will probably work better elsewhere and I really want to try out some more colourful variations in the salt water. Originally found this pattern in an English Fly Tying instruction book.
Fishing Notes The retrieve should be somewhat erratic, but fast enough to get the marabou to work. Target species include redfin and trout
Location Notes This colour combination works well in the South West of WA where redfin and trout prevail.
Prey Notes Baitfish imitation.
