Tie Along With Sybil Hunter & Al The Hackleman Haxton

November 18, 2020 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm

Come join us Wednesday, November 18, 2020 via Zoom, as Al Haxton (professional fly tier) tries his best to get Sybil, (general hack) to demonstrate the Sailors Drake and the North Branch Special. Bring your supplies and your vices (whatever they may be) to join us for the fun.
Here are the supplies you need to dig out of the coffers: 
Sailors Drake
Hook: dry fly hook size 12-16
Thread: black
Tail: pheasant tail fibers, 3-4 fibers
Body: deer hair
Wing: deer hair
North Branch Special
Hook: dry fly size 12-16
Thread: black
Body: deer hair
Wing: deer hair
Hackle: grizzly
Both of these patterns are ORIGINAL Michigan patterns and developed in the Grayling area. Both catch fish all over the country and are great patterns for new fishers as they float like a cork. Sailors Drake is probably the first “emerger” pattern, or maybe a stillborn mayfly pattern, as it lays on its side on top of the water. 
Both patterns can be tied larger and smaller than noted. Both can use dyed deer hair to make them like Sulfur Mayflies or BWOs, if desired. In larger sizes they can be Brown Drakes or even Hex patterns.
