Tail looks like CDC mixed with a synthetic, body, looks like a floss over a loosely wire ribbed hook OR lay down a layer of smooth floss, then twist and form ribs. Head looks like EGG or GLOW BUG yarn and dumbbell eyes. The tier would need to know size of hook. Length and gap.

The tail is synthetics and MARABOU, the the body ANTRON which is what I meant by floss, the ribbing like I said secondly, twisting the antron, and the head Chenille. No mention of hook though, Unless I missed that, but thanks Ted. [signature] Re: [flygoddess] Surf Grub - Kokak - 01-01-2009 Yep DryRod... I am going after Surf Perch and everything I have looked up makes reference to this fly... It's called the 'Ken's Surf Grub'. Here is the make up I found on a site... Hook:Size 10 to 6, Tiemco TMC 8089 NP Thread:Olive standard 6/0 or 8/0 Kevlar, or Flymaster Plus Eyes:Medium or large nontoxic barbells Tail assembly:Spooled Antron, equal lengths of gray, olive, and orange, veiled with tan or brown marabou Body:Olive Antron, twisted into tight cord and wrapped Head:Medium-sized chenille, salmon, or hot pink I will be fishing this on a 10' #7/8 rod with 8wt sinking line around Malibu and Seal Beach here in Southern California. Any and all suggestions welcome. After being away from fishing so long, I am really looking forward to getting back into the swing of things with fly fishing.
