Thanks for the tips and input. Yes i notice the fly resists sinking , i actually tied a few with a few wraps of lead wire to bring it down. We got the albies up here now and i got my first one today on a flyrod with a surf candy..there awesome they must make an appearance down there..hope you get into em..

Hi Joe,
Maybe after the third or fourth wrap add a couple of microbarb saddles so they extend 15mm past the end of the body.Then add more wraps of the material.
Other than that,great tutorial brother
Cheers

I Tie saltwater flies just like you so I suggestion I have is to you rattle eyes.All fish have a lateral line in them. So when the eyes rattle they pick it up easy. Glue them on just like you did with the other eyes. Try it. It does work

Thanks for the info.
Hi Joe, what weight intermediate or floating line do you sugest to throw the STeve FArrar striper fly? The fly is awesome...

@bluefishpredator I ALWAYS use a 9wt intermediate sinking line with all my flies even with clousers but the steve farrar fly will actually float for a while before sinking because it sheds water so nice so u need to use a sinking line. its a good fly it can take a beating too..i like the enrico imitations that i make they seem to hold shape better..but thats a good fly to tie in a rush and it works great for blues and zebras

Nice fly. Do you fish it with an intermediate or sinking line?

@rwar1423 it depends what im looking to catch and what water column im fishing in..usually with that fly its an intermediate bc that fly slowly sinks...if i was using a popper i would use floating line
