Jack Gartside’s page describing his version
Recipe:
Gama size 2 B10S
Size “A” rod wrapping thread.
Steve Farrar blend ®
Darice® Mesh Tubing
Domed eyes
E-6000 ® cement
- Wrap thread
- Tie in tail material in 4 very thin clumps, surrounding the hook
- Place a piece of tubing on the hook, with the material hanging over the eye. Leave it long, as you can cut it after a few steps .
- Tie off the thread and glue.
- Fold the head back, and reattach the thread.
- Bind down the tubing.
- Lift the tubing up and cut
- Use the thread to make a smooth head, then whip finish.
- Place a spot of E-6000 on the body, and secure the eyes. Also use a small spot to secure the threads.
- Let dry and go fishing
Puck the link to Jack Gartside’s page is no good.

This fly in a size 8 or 10 would have been perfect for fishing under those shad at the Sabine River.
