Sucker Spawn Tutorial (Tucan Sam)

Material and Tool List......
 
Hook: Tyers Preference
Tread: Red 6/0
Yarn: 4 contrasting colors (Glo Bug Micro Bling was used here)
Tail: Krystal Flash
 

 
Step #1
 
Tie on tread and cover the shank of the hook.
 

 
Step #2
 
Tie in Krystal Flash and secure. Trim tail to preferred length.
 

 
Step #3
 
Cut and Tie in the 4 different colors of yarn and secure.
 

 

 
Step #4
 
Loops...Start looping all four pieces of yarn, I like to get 5 loops, starting with the first loop being the smallest, the second a little bigger, the third a little bigger, the forth the biggest and the last on a little smaller (about the size of the third loop) After the final loop fasten the yarn securely and trim off extra.( I like to keep the extra small pieces for the dot strands for my blood dot patterns.) Whip Finish and apply head cement.

Hey, nice job on the tutorial.  How'd you post more than one pic?  I try to post multiples and it tells me only 1 pic per message.   Great work though, I like the spawn when it's dense like that, the loopy stuff just doesn't cut it.   -O.C.T.

No but I have heard alot of raves about it....

on this one site a guy swears blue is the hot color on elk. Id have to disagree since all my blue flys sucked... or maybe it was just me

Well, now I know I better tie a couple of dozen....

Thanks Sculpin, I tie my sucker spawn in a slightly different way, but its nice to know another method.

I went to your links and looked around. Boy are you a tool.

Kyler just let it be man.  Enjoyed the tutorial otherwise though looks like a good pattern!

Thanks for the tutorial, sculpin. Tied 20 of these already.. Pretty looking flies.

some guys on here are just so dang envious of one another i don't care who needs help if i can feel free to ask i will do what ever i can.JUst remember guys is the lil man that belittles others to show himself as big.sculpin you go dude i am envious of anyone that gets a pic on here lol.

Blue has been surprising at times for me. Once at manchester it caught fish for me and a buddy almost cast after cast but all the fish were jacks. Another time I was at 20 mile, tried blue with an orange dot one afternoon - caught several coho - odd thing being I could see them come across the pool about 8 feet to hit it yet the steelhead would not touch it.

blue works...you just gotta know when to use it!!! dark purple sucker spawns work well also.. caught loads of fish on purple
