Guess what it's called?

Homer's Hummer

My camera doen't take close ups.

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

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

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.

Tight lines

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

No, A freind found it in a trash barrel!

(He went fishing with someone, but he has seen the light now!)

and sometimes they will hit ANY color !

Well I guess this is it, went and checked his web site, had not been there in a while, I see all flys have pictures now, but the Cop Car but it must be the while one in the Winter fly box selection, like the one above.

Now there are two tied in my fly box ! To think I waited 3 years for this moment !

Cheers

The question is not knowing what the Cop Car looks like, but on how to fish it. As told to me from Dennis himself during an awesome guided trip.

Peter <><

PS: I know it shouldn't be a big deal posting a pic of the CC, but I wouldn't of posted a pic of it out of respect for Dennis.

respect and Dennis have rarely been uttered in the same sentence

Me Too!

Look through some pattern books and you might see the CC in them under a different name with someone else name on it

I don't often hit this side of the board since I got my boat but I gotta tell you. I damned near fell off my chair when I saw the words "respect" and DD in the same sentence LOL. And to think I didn't even have to wait three years to see the CC!!!

Peace Brian!

Popular fellow I see ? LOL

FL

I like that one H2H. I will use a similar pattern in the salt...call it what you want, aye!

I am the world's worst tyer....I cannot even speak your guy's language about tying recipes but boy I love to flyfish.......most of these are flies I bought, I am so pathetic......the 4 ugliest flies in my box are the stupid ones I tied.....luckily chums are no Einsteins either...and besides, when it really comes down to it, proper presentation is the name of the game eh?

Nice flys, pink is a good color !
