More silicone surf candies to replace the fifteen I lost
last weekend to small Macks and queenies
The pelagics at Lee Point couldn't resist this fly as it
matched perfectly the predominant baitfish they were eating so voraciously
20 of them this time
very simple to tie - though a little bit tricky with the silicone
Tail of goat hair and Krystalflash- goat hair fragile to
toothy critters but Better movement
Underbody - a wide pinkish holo flash wrapped along hook
shank
Clear silicone body squeezed/moulded around the hook shank (you dip your fingers in water/dishwashing liquid mixture to stop it sticking to your fingers
but not too much fluid or silicone won't stick to shank) - ensure its the clear silicone
not the translucent variety. I use the Parafix maxi clear brand. MOuld the silicone into a cylinder around the hook shank
Eyes and gills - red and black marker pen - only cause I didn't have any 3mm prism eyes left
a couple of layers of clear nail polish over the top of
every thing - don't brush too much over the marker pen bits as the nail polish can smear
them
Also some 3/0 poppers for the bigger queenies that were about last weekend but didn't fancy the little candies
