Even that wouldn't be 100% true, I used the silicone techniques learned from some of Bob Popovic's patterns like the Silicone Mullet. This fly has not just taken a multitude of different species, but it's done so when most other patterns have failed to do so...that makes it special in my book. Personally, I've caught stripers, weakfish, bluefish, fluke, sundials, false albacore, bonito, Spanish mackerel, star gazers, and sea-run cut throat's on it...and not just one or two, but tons of each! I just made them available to the public about 12 months ago and hundreds of folks now can't be without them.</font></p> <table border="1" width="100%"> <tr> <td valign="top"><font face="Verdana" size="2"><b><u>Materials:</u><br> </b></font><font face="Verdana" size="1"><b>34007 hook, size 1 to 3/0<br> white bucktail - non flaring hair preferred<br> peacock herl<br> pearl flashabou or crystal flash<br> silver mylar tubing for body<br> silicone<br> Photoflo<br> 1/8"-3/16" prism eyes, silver w/black pupil</b></font> <p><font face="Verdana" size="2">Start the thread just forward of the bend of a 34007 hook, size 1 to 3/0.

I have always used and will likely always use real peacock herl. Yes, it's probably one of the most frail materials regularly used. It's also the one that is absolutely magic. Peacock herl isn't one color, it's many - from blue to olive to metallic green to drab green and brown...and when wet, the tiny fibers come to life. I tie 90% of my flies with peacock herl and I've seen many flies stop working once the herl is gone. Lay 6-10 pieces of herl, somewhat evened at the tip end but not so much that it loses the taper. Tie them in on top of the flash or bucktail...keep them on top of the hook. Clip the butts of the herl neatly. Wrap over the butts with the thread to make a nice neat head, whip finish and cut the thread...this one's ready for the silicone!</font></td> <td align="center"><font face="Verdana" size="2"><img border="0" src="/images/flypages/ss/_ss_8.JPG" width="323" height="139" alt=""></font> <p><font face="Verdana" size="2">All done tying, now for the silicone!<br> **There are many types of silicone out <br> there, I prefer DAP or Cinch....but Cinch <br> is an expensive aerosol, DAP is fine.</font></td> </tr> </table> <table border="1" width="100%" cellpadding="3"> <tr> <td valign="top" bgcolor="#C0C0C0"><font face="Verdana" size="2">Working with silicone is not that difficult...it's not easy, but it's also not difficult. You must use something to keep the silicone from sticking to your fingers, if it sticks to your fingers, you'll never get the proper shape. I prefer Photoflo, it's available in any camera/photography supply store. I think it's about $8-$10 a bottle. Don't let that scare you, I've had my original 16oz bottle for about a dozen years now, it lasts. Dish soap and water will work I'm told, but for less than $1/year, I'll take the Photoflo! So, you put the Photoflo in a jar large enough to stick a couple fingers in so you can reapply when needed...and now you start applying the silicone to the fly. I generally put the silicone right on the fly as shown here.</font></td> <td align="center" bgcolor="#C0C0C0"><font face="Verdana" size="2"><img border="0" src="/images/flypages/ss/_ss_9.JPG" width="275" height="166" alt=""></font> <p><font face="Verdana" size="2">A little silicone on one side and the top...</font></td> </tr> </table> <table border="1" width="100%" cellpadding="3"> <tr> <td valign="top"><font face="Verdana" size="2">Then I'll put some silicone on the other side of the fly as shown here. Then dip your fingers, I dip my pointer and middle finger and then rub those together with the thumb on that hand...those three fingers are all you will use. The first thing I do is lift the herl some and then squeeze the silicone from both sides of the fly into that area...then put the herl down and begin shaping the spearing. This is where you'll need the trial and error lesson. You're trying to make this thing look like a spearing from the sides, from the bottom, and from the front. Shaping it is up to you. I don't let much silicone get beyond the hook bend, just a little to help with fouling on the cast.</font></td> <td align="center"><font face="Verdana" size="2"><img border="0" src="/images/flypages/ss/_ss_10.JPG" width="319" height="169" alt=""></font> <p><font face="Verdana" size="2">and a little silicone on this side....</font></td> </tr> </table> <table border="1" width="100%" cellpadding="3"> <tr> <td valign="top" bgcolor="#C0C0C0"><font face="Verdana" size="2">Here's the finished shape that I shoot for. This one actually is far from perfect, but the general shape is good. At this point, stick an eye on each side and poke it slightly into the silicone with something sharp like your scissors or bodkin. I like my eyes placed just behind where the thread wraps are visible under the silicone and slightly above center. Dip your fingers again, lightly, and smooth over the silicone covering the eyes. Now smooth the whole fly again...you may even have to reshape it some, depending on how well the whole eye application went. That's it, you're all done, now keep it away from the bluefish if you can!</font></td> <td align="center" bgcolor="#C0C0C0"><font face="Verdana" size="2"><img border="0" src="/images/flypages/ss/_ss_11.JPG" width="346" height="119" alt=""></font> <p><font face="Verdana" size="2">Now it's time for the eyes!</font></td> </tr> </table> <div align="center"> <hr width="780" noshade align="center"> <font face="Verdana" size="1">*If you feel this information can be of value to others, please feel free to link directly to this page - the URL to link to is shown in your browser window.</font> </div> <table width="790" border="1" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0" align="center"> <tr align="center" bgcolor="#C0C0C0"> <td width="125"><a href="/surftalk/" title="Striped bass fishing forums, striper fishing forums, kayak fishing forums, fly fishing forums, fly tying forums, beach buggy forums, rod building forums, saltwater fishing forums, surf fishing forums, Massachusetts striped bass fishing forum, Rhode Island striped bass fishing forums"><font face="Comic Sans MS" size="1" color="#000000">SurfTalk Fishing Forums </font></a></td> <td width="140"><a href="/Pages/Articles/" title="Saltwater fishing articles about striped bass, surf fishing, saltwater fishing, Montauk Point, Block Island, Al Goldberg and more."><font face="Comic Sans MS" color="#000000" size="1">Saltwater Fishing Articles</font></a></td> <td width="77"><a href="/Pages/photo_pages/" title="Saltwater and striped bass fishing pictures - striper fishing, striped bass, bluefish, weakfish, surf fishing pictures, Montauk Point pictures and more."><font color="#000000" face="Comic Sans MS" size="1">Photo Pages</font></a></td> <td width="193"><a href="http://www.stripersonline.com" title="Striped bass fishing, striper fishing, surf fishing and saltwater fishing resources."><font face="Comic Sans MS" size="1" color="#000000">Striped Bass Fishing - StripersOnline</font></a></td> <td width="109"><a href="http://www.stripersonline.net/cart/shop/index.html" title="Striped bass fishing tackle, striper fishing tackle, lures for striped bass, surf fishing tackle, Choopy Lures, Gibbs lures, darters, needlefish, rigged eels and more."><font face="Comic Sans MS" size="1" color="#000000"> Online Tackle Store</font></a></td> <td width="119"><a href="http://www.stripersonline.com/SurfChat/" title="Real time chat with other striped bass fishing and surf fishing folks."><font face="Comic Sans MS" size="1" color="#000000">SurfChat -Fishing chat!</font></a></td> </tr> </table> <table border="1" width="675" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0" align="center"> <tr> <td valign="middle" align="center" bgcolor="#C0C0C0" width="113"><a href="/additional_resources.shtml" title="Additional fishing, saltwater fishing and outdoors related resources."><font face="Comic Sans MS" size="1" color="#000000">Additional Resources</font></a></td> <td valign="middle" align="center" bgcolor="#C0C0C0" width="115"><a href="/Pages/rockfish/" title="Fishing cartoons, surf fishing cartoons, fishing humor, striped bass fishing cartoons."><font face="Comic Sans MS" color="#000000" size="1">Rockfish Cartoons</font></a> </td> <td valign="middle" align="center" bgcolor="#C0C0C0" width="122"><a href="/Pages/archives/" title="Striped bass fishing archives, striper fishing archives, saltwater fishing articles, surf fishing articles and archives."><font color="#000000" face="Comic Sans MS" size="1">Striped Bass Archives</font></a></td> <td valign="middle" align="center" bgcolor="#C0C0C0" width="80"><a href="/cgi-bin/ubb_547C/auction.pl" title="StripersOnline Free e-Surf Auction where our members can auction fishing tackle and surf fishing tackle at no charge."><font face="Comic Sans MS" color="#000000" size="1">e-Surf Auction</font></a></td> <td valign="middle" align="center" bgcolor="#C0C0C0" width="84"> <a href="http://www.stripersonline.net/forms/reports_2000.htm" title="Where are the stripers now, striped bass fishing reports, fishing reports." target="_blank"><font face="Comic Sans MS" color="#000000" size="1">Fishing Reports</font></a></td> <td valign="middle" align="center" bgcolor="#C0C0C0" width="54"><a href="/Pages/tides_monthly.shtml" target="_blank" title="Tide charts for New Jersey, New York and the area.
