rubber tails prototype flies!
Found a stash of rubber tails in one of my drawers and thought I would play around with some patterns. They are all tied on #8 J Stockard 235 nymph hook. First add the the bead/cone wrap hook tie in rubber tail then either estaz tied in at the tail and wrapped forward and tied, or weight with wraps of lead wire then chenille and hackle tied in at the tail and wrapped forward like in a wooly bugger.

I tied the one upper right (with cone head) and used it Thursday they smashed it! Caught two on 3 cast and then broke off! I fished on my 5 wt with floating line but used flourocarbon leader which helps a little as it sinks. The bites came on the fall at about two feet deep/. Only one issue I don't know where I can buy more rubber tails!
