Fishing in British Columbia - Fly Patterns: Tied Down Minnow

Tied Down Minnow

Hook: Size 10-6, 3X long
Thread: 6/0 Olive
Tail: Dyed olive mallard flank
Body: Silver small braid mylar wrap
Back: Dyed olive mallard flank
Throat: Red hackle fibers.

Tying Instructions:

Tie in mallard flank for tail. Tail should be about 1/3 length of the body. Don't trim the butts, they will be used for the back of the fly. Pull mallard butts back and secure them back with a few wraps of thread.
Tie in mylar wrap and wrap it forward.
Tie in red hackle fibers, facing down to imitate the egg sack.
Pull mallard tightly over body and secure with thread. Trim, and whip finish.
Apply 2 coats of head cement to head, body, and back. This will help prevent the mallard from splitting.
