Nice pics John. Hopefully you'll clean your left shoe before hopping on the plane home...

Bringing this back to the top since it kind of died out. Anyone else tying up some new stuff? Here is what I've been working on. This is the first version. The tail needs some work. Critiques, suggestions and criticisms welcome. SF

Very nice! My only concern would be short strikes. Maybe a tube? That would hinder any tail wag though. A braided stinger would work. Sharp fly. Keep us posted. I might chase some silvers off the beach when they get here in force.

I put a larger eye on it, so hopefully I'll get some head shots and avoid short strikes. I covered the hook portion with UV cure for durability but want the tail to be flexible so it would move in the current. SF

Oh no, it's back!
Great timing. With fall fishing winding down for the year, I was just thinking yesterday about blowing the dust off the tying table and starting to remember how to put feathers on a hook.
That barred hackle does have a nice look. For once your old eyes don't deceive you.
Ostrich?
Until recently I didn't realize that there is such a huge difference in ostrich feathers. Some of the higher grade stuff actually looks a lot more like rhea.

Good looking fly John. My only suggestion would be to add a bit of gold in there somewhere. It would look great with that purple.

I can't think of any reason why that Cooger Fly wouldn't work well...if by "well" you mean a great cast, erratic strip, slashing take, solid hookup, blistering runs... ...and then breaking your heart by falling off right at the beach. Every time.  Fish on... Todd
