This month's fly is the Seaducer. Originally created as a saltwater pattern by Homer Rhodes in the 1940s, when it was called the Homer Rhodes Streamer, it was popularized and renamed the Seaducer by Chico Fernandez in the 80s. It has proven very effective on bass, pike, pickerel and many other warmwater targets, so it's not just for saltwater species.

Come and join us for tying this pattern. Or just come hang out and watch. Other than the hook, the Seaducer uses only 2 materials, making it a great fly on which to learn or practice basic skills.

So that we can better plan materials, please RSVP by clicking THIS LINK if you plan or think you might attend.

As always, all materials other than thread will be provided, and we have several sets of tools for any who do not have their own. This fly uses 140 denier thread in white, red, olive, or purple depending on your color choice of feathers. Of course, black always works.

As always, we broadcast the sessions live via Zoom for those who cannot attend. The livestream will be posted to the Kisatchie Fly Fishers YouTube channel. If you would like to join the Zoom but do not have the link, please email Bill Morrison.
