Flashtail Baitfish - Niklaus Bauer

A few years ago, I discovered that orange flies were absolutely outstanding for sea trout in the fall, and the colder the water got, the better the orange flies got. In the fall of 2022, I started experimenting with fairly large flashtail flies with a fluorescent orange front body and here you have the result, my absolute favorite baitfish pattern for fall and winter trout. Don't be afraid to tie it up to 12-13cm in size.
Hook options: Partridge CS54 #2 slow retrieve, cold water.
Partridge ACS/E #2-6 fast retrieve, warmer water.
Barbless Alternative Hanak H970B #6
Glue: Zap brush on, Gulff Thinman, Classic
Thread: Textreme Power thread 25-50D - White
Eyes: Stick-On Eyes 4,8 mm - Pearl
Tail: Lateral Scale Small- Mirage Opal, Flashabou Mirage - orange, Polarflash - Gold
Wing: Bucktail - Fluo fire orange, Craft fur - Fiery hot red
Head: Predator Dubbing - Nightmare before X-mas

Nice fly. I’ll have to tie one up and try it on some pike before the lakes freeze over here in Minnesota.

[@ronvanderbol1319]

Same to me 4 weeks on 4 trips in horrible rain and great weather. Great looking places but only a small one on a spoon.

That's very nice and effective looking fly. Would be a killer here in Finland's rapibs for rainbowtrout. I have to try this.

Ser het ut, den skulle jag gärna testa efter upplandskusten!

[@FlyDressing]

[@96Mayfly]

[@bartmoerkens3395]

Simple and deadly lol

[@pikemoucheur7812]

hello Niklaus, send me one to try on perch 🤣

[@ajanson1]

Jag är helt ny på binda flugor, tänkte detta kunde vara den första som jag tränar på. Men jag hittar inte bucktail i lager hos någon på internet, har tyvärr dåligt med sportfiskeaffärer där vi bor, så internet är enklast. Men jag hittade Doetail - Fl Orange på fishline. Kan den duga istället för bucktail ?

[@fredrikhilton1431]

Hej Niklaus, vet du någon som binder upp dessa och säljer ” för en som är helt kass på att binda flugor 😂”?

[@FlyDressing]

nix, ingen på rak arm, sorry.

[@user-sd2sz3yf6l]
