Fall is streamer time in my mind. So in the spirit of the season, I've been thinking streamers at the bench. This is a pattern I've been trying to perfect. I know, I know, its just a double deceiver with marabou... but hey, It looks fishy and I haven't seen anything just like it out there. I basically just wanted a double deceiver with a bit more life and I though marabou would be the perfect material to add some "fluffiness." The problem with marabou is that it slims down in the water. I thought having hollow tied bucktail in there to support the marabou would help this fly maintain its bulk and it should push water pretty well.
I have never had a ton of luck with this pink and blue color scheme but I have heard that it kills in the right conditions.
I have had a lot of luck with anything yellow and orange. I wet this one down to show the bulky baitfish profile.
I don't know if chartreuse and black is the most successful color scheme but I think it looks pretty cool. I'm sure a big bass would bust it. The tail on this one turned out a bit too short.
