Redds Pike Flies -a brief glance

 

I was getting a little tired of winter and the same old routine, so I pulled out some fly tying supplies and sat down at the vice. My favourite flies to tie are red and white pike streamers with a light body. Pike are completely enamoured with that color combination. In reality, many predatory fish, including peacock bass in South America, are as well. I ran out of tying material and had to make do with what I had on hand.

Here's what I used to make this fly, which I named "Lil' Sinner." Don't ask me why I named it that; it simply resembles a small red nasty fly... It's time to get some more coffee. 

I'll try to do a more detailed video soon, but if you're an experienced fly tier, you'll figure it out on your own.
