Picking up some of my fly tying material tonight after tying a few flies and took this pic of my Labrador. He lives to fish and chase birds. 
This pattern works well for Parr imitations.
Tied with:
4 small white saddle hackles tied in first.
White buck tail tied in on the top side of the shank
2 strands of copper flash on each side of the body
4 pieces of peacock tied in on top of that
A black sharpie will give you the parr markings that you want on the body
I chose to give this fly an epoxy head with big silver eyes.

I watched my good friend Jeff Murray (www.murraysflyshop.com) raise at least 15 fish on this mouse pattern in the first half hour of this float. This fish was caught and released in the fall but you can be sure that it is just as productive in the spring. Note that not all rivers will produce trout on mouse patterns but most rivers in Alaska will with the right conditions.
I hope to hear stories of you catching rainbow trout on mouse patterns too! It is always fun to raise fish on dry flies and even more fun to fish a dry that you will not have any problems following. give us a call anytime to line up your next Alaska kenai river guide trip.
Have fun tying,

I’m a huge fan of peacock hurl, I mix it into most of my favorite patterns.
Brown or olive caddis patterns in a size 12 is a go to for us in June.
Have a great time tying and we’ll catch you next time,
give us a call to book your next Alaska Kenai river guide trip and if the timing is right we will dry fly fish the Kenai river for rainbow trout!

Rainbow trout on the the Kenai River and other system in Alaska feed on leech patterns aggressively in the spring. Early trout season on the Kenai river can be a streamer fisherman’s paradise!There are many leech pattern available that will work as well as this one. Bunny leeches are fast and fun to tie.
For this particular fly you will need:
-black zonker strip
-black dubbing
-black hackle
-copper flash
-lead body wrap, if desired
-lead eyes, if desired
I chose a size 6 streamer hook and a small set of lead eyes for this fly. Colors and sizes can very day by day so when you feel you have enough of one color switch to another.
Give us a call to hook up your next kenai river or many other Alaska fishing trips.
Tight lines,

After you add 2,3,4,5 beads (whatever spacing that you are happy with), you can then connect it to the front hook. Adding beads isn’t necessary but I like to add them for just a little extra weight sometimes.
Articulated leeches work great on Kenai river at times for rainbow trout and salmon. Give them a try and I think you will find they are worth the time to tie. I like a variety of colors in my fly box but black, olive, and brown seem to be the go to colors of choice.
Booking guide trips on the kenai river is easy. just give us a call and we will hook you up

Wrap forward and tight on the shank with the marabou. It is best to pull the feathers back with your left hand while you wrap. This will keep you from hiding them in the body of the fly and fouling on the tip of the hook.
Repeat this until you reach the front of the hook and then tie off your thread.
If you have any questions about spinning marabou feel free to contact me at www.driftingonthefly.com
Good luck and watch for more tips in the coming months. FLY TYING Streamers with long tails can foul around the hook. A good rule of thumb is to make the tail 3/4 of the length of the hook you are tying on. I like to tie most of my salmon flies using rabbit strips. If you ever have problems with the tail fouling around the hook here is one option that may help this from happening. 
Then fold it around to the other side and tie that end in with more wraps.
