Fly Candy

Started with tying on red raccoon zonker then several white & grizzly microbarb saddles. Then palmered on some Black UV polar chenille. added an already painted white popper head. stuck a couple of elongated eyes on the opposite way around and then bug bonded it reverse side round.

Then palmered on another piece of Black UV polar chenille for its nose....jobs a good en! I don't make the raccoon zonker tail so long with these flies as I would with say my raccoon bunnies purely because I want the fly to stay elevated and a long section would make the fly very unbalanced. I can see there is going to be a lot of development with this kinda fly over the winter. Tying them onto tubes is the obvious step forward.
