Assassin Pattern

Oohh *%$#@!

There went my last bon bon. . .




Now what am I gonna do. . .



Well I went ahead and tied my own clouassinator.



See the dumbell eyes make it a clouser, yet the peacock hearl resembles the assassin, but not quite, so hense only one ***. Oh, theres yak hair, then flash, bucktail, moose mane, and more bucktail. Clearly my own design, yet dependant on so many others that have gone before. . .

Oh well, it's a "night thing" tied on a gami octopus 3/0 cause I bought them in a fit of whatever and I like the materials, and experimenting.

Something to keep us busy till the real assassin comes along:bow:

O

Alright Mr Chris, I'll do it tonight. My wife has company coming over. So I'll sequester myself in my little man cave and type. If you keep up your attitude I'll have to nickname you "the pain in the assinator'. She has "game night" tonight. She invites over some old freinds and relatives and they sit in my dining room and play cards, Yatzee and such, not my bag, "insert emoticon sticking finger down throat here". Seriously though, I'll take care of it tonight.
Chris, be careful when experimenting. Remember, on a clouser style fly, turn over and the materials bouyancy and its effect. The fly you have shown looks like it may not orient properly (hook point up) the eyes look a little small and the bouyancy of the yak may cause it to ride hook point down. I don't think thats what you're trying to achieve. Tie it on a piece of mono and try it in an aquarium or sink full of water. Hate to see you tie up a bunch of flies and not have them function the way you'd hoped.
See ya tonight, I got widgets to make.
When I said the yaks bouyancy.....it includes its hydrodynamic resistence (drag thru water) I trust you know what I mean. Maybe less yak hair, more bucktail in the wing and larger eyes. If you made your wing with the yak, and your belly with bucktail, you'd probably achieve your goal. because yak is so solid, incompressable, always cement it well after tying it on. It's hard for the thread to get a bite on that stuff.
