Butt Monkey

[alexc]

This is my favorite fly in the world right now. I can't think of a species that you couldn't catch with it.



Butt Monkey
Hook: Streamer Hook of your choice
Tail: Marabou
Rib: Medium Wire
Body; Sparkle Braid
Wing: Rabbit Strip
Collar: Pheasant Rump Feather or duck flank
Throat: Red, material of your choice. The "standard" recipe calls for wool
Head: Ram's Wool clipped to shape. I've been using glo bug yarn for about 4 months now and actually like it better than wool. Sinks faster, lighter to cast, and you can get it cheaper and in more colors.

Very nice Alex excelent tie and picture. I have done well with this fly in PA for brook trout.

[Charlie Dickson]

Very cool! Need to add some of these to my box.

Nice pattern, and if Charlie adds anymore flies to his box, he may need a suitcase to carry them all!!

[Nick Pionessa]

shit he just got a suitcase for them so i guess he's already there.

i know two creeks in particular where that fly would get chewed up pretty bad through the course of a day. nice job on the fly and good pic as well Alex.
