Galloup's Mini Dungeon

Streamer · Trout · Smallmouth Bass · Advanced · 1 version

Classic Recipe

  • Hook Daiichi 2460 streamer hooks, #4 (front), #6 (rear), articulated
  • Thread match body (olive, white, black, yellow) GSP 100 (to spin deer hair)

Materials

  • Rear tail Marabou (1-2 plumes, shank length)
  • Flash Flashabou (few strands each side)
  • Rear body Ice Dub (dubbed)
  • Rear hackle Schlappen or saddle (1-2)
  • Connection Surflon / articulation wire (1 loop)
  • Front body Ice Dub (dubbed)
  • Front hackle Schlappen (1-2 palmered)
  • Legs Barred rubber / Crazy Legs (2 per side)
  • Eyes Small double-pupil lead eyes (1 pair)
  • Head Deer belly hair (spun and trimmed flat)

How to tie it

  1. REAR HOOK: tie in a shank-length marabou tail with a few strands of flash, dub a short Ice Dub body, palmer a schlappen collar, and whip finish.
  2. FRONT HOOK: connect the rear with articulation wire and lash it down for a free hinge.
  3. Dub the front body, palmer a schlappen collar, and splay two rubber legs per side.
  4. Lash small double-pupil lead eyes on top so the fly rides hook-up and jigs.
  5. Spin and pack clumps of deer belly hair into a head.
  6. Whip finish and trim the head flat on the bottom and blocky on top so it wobbles.
  7. It's a scaled Sex Dungeon, so keep the same flat-headed wedge shape that makes the original hunt.
