Been wanting to tie up one of these for a while, finally got materials for it. I based it off a picture of the Huz-Ur-Daddy fly.

What are you trying to accomplish with this pattern? It will be difficult to fish near the bottom of your body of water and the maribou will pull straight back when you get it wet making no difference from tying it straight inline.

Frankly I saw the fly (albeit using squirrel tail instead of marabou) and thought it was really cool so wanted to recreate it.

I’ve tried the same thing with maribou. Its a good lesson and good practice nonetheless
