Thank you Monte. I love blue in a fly. There is one particular place I fish now and then, where blue is a big winner.

There's some advice about shad fishing and patterns in this article - The old Hickory http://globalflyfisher.com/fishbetter/shad/ - right here on GFF.

Kelly this fly is very beautiful and you have amazing talent. I look forward to seeing what else you have tied for this project.

Kelly that is a stunning fly -- the warmth of the yellow and orange and the soft cool blue. Really well done! I bet fish will like it too.

Thanks Ken! The wing had gray followed by kingfisher blue hackles. (light to med gray)
I am glad you like the fly. :-) I had not been tying many long featherwings before I came up with this pattern.

Wow Kelly I love the pattern and amazing job on tying it. I will have to try and tie a few of these up before opening day. I have a soft spot for any streamers with blue in it for fishing our rivers here.

Gary, I would be honored for you to do that! Thank you!

Beautiful fly, Kelly. I agree that blue tends to be underutilized in flies and can be a real winner. Well done!

One more tip I can a

One more tip I can attest to. Wear polypro or the like under and over. I took a dunk one cold morning in March over a mile from the truck. I was wearing a belt, so not much got down the waders. I wrung my fleece shirt and polypro top out, put them and my jacket back on and kept fishing. Only shivered while I was topless!

Hi Donald,

Hi Donald,

Where can i get the rubber bands you used for the guides. I like your idea with that white constrictor to slide it up the blank. Do you make them yourself?? Rich Thanks, great article.
