Pistol Pete.
Have you ever sat in a boat while your partner caught one nice fish after another while you got few or none?
Are you a purist or would you ask to borrow one of his Pistol Pete propeller flies?
I thought not!
However, if I were to stoop so low and cross over to the dark side, this is what I would tie.
Hook-Mustad 9672 or 79580. Size 12 or 14.
Thread ultra 70, colour of choice.
Size small gold propeller from Wapsi.
Gold bead 3/32 behind prop.
Pumpkin head or wooly bugger style with a bit of flash in tail.
Or whatever pleases you.
Place a temporary spacer behind prop during tying to ensure that it turns free when fly is complete.
That is what I would do and also tie a few for my friend to replace the ones lost to large fish.
This message will self destruct in 5 minutes.
Ted.
