Bucktails again!

[WWKimba]

Largemouth Bass fry

Yellow Perch fry - I know, I know!  I printed the label on a day when I had a bad spell!

Pumpkinseed fry - the Pumpkinseed here in central NY have bodies of blue and ginger mixed, use the colors that match the fish in your waters.  Also, I do NOT use variegated chenille but take 2-3 different color strands and twist them together.  This helps me mix the colors I want AND, by twisting using different tightness, I can control the distribution of the colors.  And if you look carefully the bucktail halo adds color to this pattern as it is 4 colors, mixed together (blue, yellow, green & red).  Oh, and YES, the red ring on this pattern did influence my Martini series, if you were asking!

Rainbow Trout fry - the halo here is brown-dyed green on top, pink middle, and white bottom.  I tried tying this a bit away from the body chenille so it layed flatter and closer to the body so the bucktail colors were more prominent

More to post tomorrow.

Your favorite neighborhood fly tyer! (Sorry, I have my Spiderman underwear on again!)
