Fly of the Month - Orange Flashy Maribou Leech
Thread: 6/0 Black or orange
Hook: Tiemco 300 size 8
Beadhead:Gold or brass 5/32"
Flash: Copper flashibou
Body: Black and orange marabou
1. Secure the beadhead with a number of turns of thread to form a ball or tapered wedge behind the bead, and then press the ball or wedge firmly against the back of the bead (and the bead against the hook eye) with your fingers.
2. Wind the thread back to just before the start of the bend of the hook, and tie in six or seven strands of copper flashibou on top of the hook, trimming to about one inch in length.
3. Tie in a small amount of black marabou on the top and sides of the flashibou and just the length of the flashibou. You want the flashibou to shine through the black strands.
4. Wind the thread to about halfway to the back of the beadhead, and tie in orange marabout that is just a bit shorter than the end of the black strands. You want the black to stick out a little further than the orange. I find it easiest to tie in the marabou in three separate small clumps to get even distribution around the fly body.
5. Wind the thread to just a smidge (technical term for 1/8 - 1/16 inch) behind the beadhead and again tie in orange marabou in three small clumps distributed around the hook to get good coverage.
Finish by multiple winds of thread in the 1/8 inch area behind the beadhead, and cement the thread.
I fish this pattern in lakes with a sink-tip or intermediate sink line, letting it sink to whatever depth my crystal ball tells me the fish are, and then use a retrieve of medium or medium slow 4-6 inch movements, with periodic short pauses. If the action drops off, I often have success in speeding up the retrieve.
