This fly is what its name suggests, bucktail from a deer and a bunch of flash mixed in and an even flashier tail. More specifically it is a hollow bucktail deceiver with layers of holographic Flashabou featuring a holographic Pacchiarini's Dragon tail. This style of fly featuring the dragon tail have become increasingly popular in the northern pike and musky world for good reason; they work really well. On top of musky and pike this fly can work for smallmouth, largemouth and striped bass as well as any predatory fish that can fit an 8" long baitfish in its mouth. This fly features a snap attachment so that other color tails can be interchanged with different heads.

This weeks fly focus Friday features Joe's Squimpish Fiber Hollow Fly, a large profiled hollow fly featuring Squimpish Boutique Blends layered in between several hollow bucktail ties. Hollow tying techniques have become one of the most popular styles of creating large baitfish patterns. Both bucktail and squimpish fibers, whether that be the boutique blends or the original squimish hair, take extremely well to this style of tying in materials,and blend together to create amazing movement and presence in the water. This pattern was designed for our local striped bass, (specifically the big ones) but has also taken species such as peacock bass, golden dorado and striped marlin. Our favorite colors locally here in Maine are the olive and white combination for daylight hours and the blurple for night. This fly can effectively be tied anywhere from a 1/0 all the way up to 10/0 or bigger.
