Jig Head Streamer

Hook: 1/32 oz. jig head

Thread: Chartreuse ultra thread

Materials: 5" piece of hackle flash, chartreuse ice dubbing, chartreuse marabou

Tools: bobbin, scissors, whip finish tool

This fly is a very affective fly is faster moving current because it is heavy enough that it will get to the bottom where the fish are faster that other patterns. It is also a great pattern to use in situations where the may be weeds or cover because it will swim hook tip up. I have found that fishing this pattern along the bottom bouncing it along rocks works the best, but a quick stripping action also works well. The best color combinations I have found are: white/black, green/white, chartreuse/black, and brown/white.

Step 1:  wrap a base of thread and tie in the end of a piece of marabou. Cut the extra marabou off and secure the tail.

Step 2:  tie in a 5" piece of hackle flash in the rear of the fly and wrap dubbing from the rear of the fly to the jig head

Step 3:  wrap the hackle flash around the dubbing body towards the front of the fly.  Tie off the end of the hackle flash and cut the tag end off.

Step 4:  Pull a pinch of ice dubbing and put 1 wrap in the middle of the pinch righ behind the jig head. repeat this until there are pinches of dubbing around the whole fly.

Step 5:  wrap the thread so it is in front of the dubbing and fold the ends  of the dubbing over  so that there is a dubbing skirt going towards the rear of the fly.

Step 6:  whip finish and apply head cement.
