Smaller Tarpon Bugs

[davidstrout]

3- 4 inches--Owner Aki 1/0 hooks--Polar Bear Tails--Some with raccoon some with clump tied rhea (for wings, tails and throats)

Body and tail areas are stiffened internally to prevent fouling

These are for a client who requested some lightercolored/smaller bugs, something different to throw at seasond Key West TArpon from the usual toads and roaches etc...

Hope y'all like

David, awesome looking flies. Your use of color and material is inspiring. I am getting more ideas to try some Puget Sound herring and sand lance using these techniques. The blending of colors and flowing materials should be effective hear on the left coast. Thanks for sharing.
BTW, my friends Wally and Trevor Nowak from British Columbia mentioned that they met you at a Canadian tying event. They are both talented tiers who are also impressed with your creativity.
Best regards, Steve
