A very good seatrout pattern. It’s a little bit easier and cheaper then the original Pattegrisen by Claus Eriksen. I’ve made a step by step some time ago, have a look here https://theonefly.com/?p=535
Have fun! :-)
Uuh weeee! I’m done! Don’t wont to tie these Laser Eels for the next weeks ;-)
But it’s a good feeling to see all these Laser Eels together. There are lying some hours of work.
This little Sandeel is made out of a hook, thread, eyes, holographic flash, polar fibre, angel hair and Bug Bond uv resin.
I want to use it in the Baltic Sea chasing seatrout during calm conditions and clear water.
In the last time, I tied very different flies, from small to big. Here are the results:
This is the first squid I’ve tied in my life. Crazy „fly“! ;-)
I tied a smaller shrimp on a Partridge CS 54 # 8, using the Pro 3D Shrimp Shell in XXSmall clear on pink base. The shrimp is weighted with a small tungsten shrimp weight. The legs are made out of CDC, the antennas are Whiting Rooster Spey Hackles. It’s not a really a complicated pattern and I’ll tie some more in different colors for my seatrout fishing in the Baltic Sea.
….another Spey Shrimp in a pinkish color…
Uh yeah, I got a new spey hackle cape! I was waiting a few month, that Whiting dyed them again in my favorite color.
Now I’m able to tie my Spey Shrimps again. This is the first one after some month. Not too shabby, I guess.
…promised a friend to tie some for him…..
That’s it! This is the last order of 2012. These 10 Baltic Candies will be fished at the swedish south coast this spring by the customer. Hopefully he’ll catch some big chrome torpedos with it!
When I first tied this pattern, I used epoxy for it. That’s why there’s „Poxy“ in the name of the fly. Today I use uv-resin for it, but I didn’t wanted to chance the name. ;-)
When you tie this pattern, it’s very important, that the resin soaks into the braid at the end of the fly to fix the marble fox, so it won’t tangle around the hook bend while casting. The materials used are:
You can also tie in some lead wire if you want, to create a jigging effect for example.
The Poxy-Fox looks really massive on the picture, but in the water it got some translucency. That’s the reason, why you should dub a thin body before slipping the flexi cord around the hook shank.
