Musky Temptress ~ A New Tying Pattern Emerges





   This is a new musky fly pattern I created, unintentionally, after experimenting with new tying material and thinking about how I could change the profile of my first pattern, the BB's Forage.  After a few things changed a new pattern, yet un-named, emerged!  I think it is a sexy fly, but I doubt musky care about that.

   In addition to the usual yak hair, ostrich herl, one hank of bucktail & #2 saddle hackles, I created the head with Bug Bond light-cured resin and I added Krystal Hackle and Stever Farrar's Flash Blend to my musky tying arsenal.

   While I am truly one of those strange people who enjoy the weather variability of late-winter/early-spring, I am looking forward to taking this fly for a swim in warmer weather.  Just like humans, being pretty only takes one so far.  Our actions are what produce and make a lasting impression!
