Gary: well, I have all the materials except a line with a sinking tip LOL. But my wife and I saw an article just the other day where you buy a fully sinking tip line that has a lead core, and to make it sink more or less, you cut the line into various lengths and have loop to loop ends on these “sinking tips” to your floating line. Think that would work??? That way, I just have to buy one fully sinkig line and make my own “sinking ends right??? Thanks, Chuck

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.

Do you (or others) report catching a lot of crappie with that fly?? Reason I ask is because I think with that pearlescent white chenille body, the flashabou in the tail, then the red threaded collar, (which would look like tiny gills on the minnow I think) it would look just like a Missouri shiner minnow swimming through the water and most ppl around here fish with either those minnows, or a white on white jig to catch the most crappie with and we are planning to do some crappie fishing at night IF it will ever stop raining here LOL.. Thanks, Chuck Also, does anybody else here have a “Crappie killer” pattern they tie??? If so, can you share it with me/us??
