Numero Uno fly pattern

Post by Terrier »

Does anybody have the pattern for this fly? Check out this link and scroll down to the Speckled Trout article - pretty impressive.

from what I have read, there are more than a few versions of the fly, some show a zonker strip for the tail, some show split saddle hackles this is a link showing a numero uno tied by the "man" himself ( rowland). below that is tyeing instructions for the mothers day fly that is a pretty close copy i think. replace saddles with rabbit zonker.
