Nice box KK!

No "Cop Car" there

What wheres the Cop Car in those flys ? LOL

You fellows have seen all of my flys on other boards well except for the new ones I am tying now, maybe in a year or two I will divulge them after I have fully tested them.

Sorry about the quality of the first picture(of this thread) but look at it

No cop car for me, but I do have one I call the 'White Bronco'................it's got a tiny bit of red in it.............

KK

Are you hinting that the first one is the infamous "Cop Car"?

Nice flys, but even if some asserts this is the "Cop Car" how will we will know it is the truth ? LOL

That is one version of the copcar, my favorite is articulated with less maribou. Fishes better in faster water I think. The infamous Dennis Dickson fly...

You mean this is a "Cop Car"?

Finally H2H after 2-3 years of stalking steelhead fly fishing boards I have seen the "Cop Car", well I hope I have, is there a person that can second this is it ?

Well off to the tying vise.

I have lots of white marabou, and that color of flashabou, etc..

Finally all the pain is over with. LOL

Cheers

I can neither confirm or deny the existance of any fly called 'Cop Car'. However, some claim its' existance, and ascribe mystical, almost legendary feats of piscitorial greatness to it. So profound an effect on certain species of salmonids is claimed, that mere mortals turn to stone when viewing one, and the fish, transfixed in awe, fin slowly toward it, eschewing all other patterns.
I think he gets about 300 a day to tell you about it.......... :p

Brian -
Your version of the infamous "cop-car" looks very much like a version of Al knundson's white marabou streamer. As I recall one of his variations had chain bead eyes and red throat though it did lack that blue over wing. He often tied this streamer on 2/0 to 7/0 hooks and created this fly in the 1930s and 40s.

Yes Smalma is correct

White Streamer - Al Knudson

1935 - 7/0 carlisle hook, originally developed on Rogue River, Oregon by Mr. Knudson, cross reference to the Trey Combs book - Steelhead Fishing and Flies - pages 111 and 112, a big write up on its history and application.

Designed for high dirty water, 6-7 inchels long in length, etc.

I fish white bunnys that imitate bait fish, but they are not 6-7 inches. Long. BTW, white streamers have always been good for stream trout and the andramous species.

I have been fishing white marabous since I was a kid, 40+ years ago.

So gentlemen are we now sure this is the real "Cop Car" ?

Cheers

LOL

I wouldn't want to copy a pattern from any one and give it a name and say it was one of mine own paterns.


The red is on the top and the blue, green was on the bottom.

Did you ever do well with it ?

I will tie some it and give them a go, need some more white marabou streamer types anyway.

Cheers
