Re: [VFB] marabou ?

[Richard Cook]

Rick, I once tied some leech patterns like this where the marabou was tied in entirely by the tips. It was a special order and the customer reported the fly to be more succesful than when it was tied in the conventional way.   Chris http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flyfishingworld ----- Original Message ----- From: Richard D Zieger OD To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]@troutnet.com Sent: Sunday, February 03, 2002 8:26 PM Subject: [VFB] marabou ? Was curious the other day and tied a few patterns by folding the marabou fibers over to form a wing on a fly.  When the fivers are to long I tie it in fold the end over toward the tail from the head and bind down.  I then tear the ends so they are near the same length.   Put them in the tub ( my wife did not ask) and pulled them thru the water beside a fly tied conventially.  The marabou seemed to move diffently.   Anyone tried this on fish?   Rick  Stamp powered by www.mailround.com Click here to join YOPTIN and WIN COOL PRIZES
