No, The wire makes an eye in the vertical plane, then continues underneath and forms the belly-shape required for a zonker minnow. The wire then ends just before the bend.

I'm also looking for those nymph hooks that had the body taper built in as a split shank. Did a Google search and so far turned up nada.

It does address the name in the Fly Tyer article about Joe Blados. She is referring to the "fold" in the foam as a "crease" Therefore it is a crease fly. A very simple tie... all you do is put super glue on the shank of the hook and crease the foam and squeeze. :) I hope that cleared it up for you.

He would have named it more succiently, like Joe's mylar crease fly, or something. -----Original Message----- From: Deborah Duran [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 15, 2004 4:50 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [VFB] Crease Fly Instructions!!

Keith I'm not sure why that fly is labeled a crease fly. It isn't a crease fly it is a sili skin bait fish. The fly labeled Joe Blado's crease fly in the same pattern index is a crease fly. I'm not positive but I think Byard does carry sili skin.

Just had a look on UFTRI at the instructional on there. Looks a good fly for pike here in the UK as well as bass. Where can you get Sili Skin in the UK anyone know?? I assume Byard can provide it ????????
