Polkagrisen – Beastfly<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So by request from a couple of readers i will try to do this SBS in english. Long time ago i wrote something in english so i apologize already now for the grammar.<\/p>\n

This fly is a so called Beast fly, inspired by the awesome fly-tier Gunnar Brammer. The tail is build by a lot of small pieces of XL tubes that you attach to your hook with a wire. In this one i use five small tubes on the wire and i tie it on a Vision Big daddy hook in size 6\/0. I usually tie my pike flies on size 4\/0 but when you tie a Beast fly i usually go up a size.<\/p>\n

Each section is separated with two beads. Two tips is to use a strong thread as always with pike flies i use Textreme 100 denier. Next tip is to use superglue it will make the fly more durable. You don\u00b4t need a lot of different materials, i use bucktail, ripple ice fiber, polar flash, flashabou and SF blend. But you gonna ned a lot of bucktail!<\/p>\n

So here we go!\"\"<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Start with a XL tube. I heat up the needle for a few seconds before i mount the tube so it will stay on the needle better.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    2. Tie in a small bunch bucktail, be sure that you cover the hole tube around with bucktail.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    3. Now we use the awesome material from Flydressing, ripple ice fiber.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    4. Before finish of the fly, make sure to use superglue. Now part one is finished. I cut the tube of just before the head. Tie one more exactly like this one. The tubes should be about 4-5 cm long. Use the rest of the tube for the next parts.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    5. For the third piece i tie in the bucktail ”reverse style” to get the right volume<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    6. Use hair clamps to force the bucktail backwards while you build up the head for the right angle.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    7. This is the angle I’m looking for.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    8. Now i take few strands of polarflash<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    9. Then i finish off with ripple ice fiber in the color red. Bulid up a little head and superglue. Now repeat step 5-9 three to four times depending on how long you want your fly.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Here we have the pieces to my tail of the fly<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Now you need beads and wire.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    10. Normally i have a fast attach here so i can attach a wiggle tail. Unfortunately i hadn’t anyone at home so i did like this instead. This i do to ”lock” the wire. Fold the wire on the middle and push down the bead to hold it together.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    11. Attach the first of your tail pieces.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    12. Slide down two beads.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    13. Keep repeating this until you have all your pieces on the wire.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    14. Now its time for the hook.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    15. First i lay a base of thread at \u00a0the hook bend and 2-3 cm forward. Then i tie in the wire, i take two beads between the hook and the tail so it have som room for movement.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    16. I fold the wire and pull it through the beads. Put thread all over the wire so you close it in firmly. Then superglue.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    17. Now it’s time to build up the body on the hook. Build in a bunch of bucktail that covers the hook all around.
    \n\"\"<\/p>\n

    18. This is the angle I want. Now i tie in polarflash and ripple ice fiber like I did on the tail.
    \n\"\" 19. Keep doing sections like this on the body. \"\" 20. When I have about 2 cm left to the hook eye I make the last section with white bucktail. \"\" 21. Here I tie in some white flashabou and polarflash.\"\" 22. For the last section of bucktail I use red colour.<\/p>\n

    \"\" 23. For the head I use Steve Farrar blend in the colour red.\"\" 24. A pikefly must have eyes in my opinion. So choose the colour you want. I use superglue to attach the eyes.\"\" 25. It’s done ! \"\"<\/p>\n

    The fly from another angle.<\/p>\n

    I hope you like it and the colour combination you can choose after your own taste and opinion.<\/p>\n
