Re: question on backing.

Okay, MacFly, time for more pictures.
Here is a fly called a "Hot Chocolate" It is tied on a size 12 streamer hook.

I have caught many a fish on this fly from size 24" to the one last year at 34"



And if that isn't good enough for them, fall and winter here require downsizing big time. Here is some size 30's and 32's


And here is one landed on thos Micro's:

Re: question on backing.

The Hot Chocolate is Verigated Black and Brown Chenille. The tail is Bronze and the hackle is Brown Grizzly Hackle.
If I do weight the fly, it is maybe 5 wraps of .015 Tungsten, but for the most part I don't weight my flies and use different sink rate lines. This way the fly will float slightly if I am using a very fast sink line and I am in the ZONE for the bottom dwellers. I use an Intermediate, Type II, Type III, Type V, Type YII and Depth Charge which is 250 grain, so I can cover all the depths.
