Striper Flies for Delta
This month we will be tying a couple of striped bass flies that utilize techniques typically found on larger saltwater flies.
I will demonstrate the flash tail Clouser and the flash tail Whistler. Both are effective patterns for stripers on the Delta and Bay.
Below is a list of materials for both patterns. Bring what you have, if you don't have a particular material we usually share with each other.
Hooks: size 2 to 3/0 saltwater hooks, either standard or 60 degree jig style
Thread: 3/0 monochord or 140-210 denier, red or white
Eyes: large bead chain and lead barbells
Tail: bucktail, variety of colors, especially chartreuse and white
Flash: pearl or silver flashabou
Body: large chenille, red, chartreuse, yellow, or white
Hackle: Grizzly saddle, spade or schlappen hackle in red, chartreuse, yellow or black
Here are a couple of videos of tying the Clouser and the Whistler.
