Tying Materials

• Hook: Mustad  36890 size 2-6
• Thread: Hot orange
• Body: Palmered Marabou, first pink then  purple
• Flash: 2-4 strands of Purple Flashabou

  Tips:  When tying this fly make sure to tie in the tips first rather then the heavy quill end.  For fast water don’t be afraid to lead the body or put a bead head on.]]> http://rsfat.com/2009/10/showgirl-fly/feed/ 0
