Chuck, This is one from the early years of the VFB. I can't remember Dick's last name. I want to say Stock, or Stockton. Maybe somebody here remembers. Anyway, it is an easy fly to tie and does work well.
*Dick's Dandy:* *#8 3XL streamer hook* *Tail Red hackle tail 3/8" long.* *body 9 strands of peacock herl spun into a chenille.* *beard red hackle tied down. * *wing White over black bucktail (Sparse) Do not let the wing extend * *past the bend of the hook more than 1/8"or the fly will foul.* *This fly MUST be fished with a sinking tip line. Adding split shot ruins the * *action of the fly. Use short and long strips with long pauses. The fish * *will most offen take on the pause. The fly will suspend if tied correctly. * *It's a simple fly to tie but very effective.* On Wed, Mar 11, 2015 at 8:36 PM, Chuck Alexander < [email protected]> wrote: > Tony, I was just watching your DVD’s again to get some ideas and have a > question about the White Water Demon fly.
