Buford in Cotton Candy

From Paul Monaghan:
One of my favourite patterns to tie and fish is the Buford, which was designed by Brad Bohen. The single hook version is really quick and easy once you practise a few. There is no right or wrong way, though hopefully through this tutorial you will get a good idea of material placement and proportion. All you need is bucktail, feathers, optional flash and some imagination.

Materials List:
Hook: Ahrex Hooks Predator Stinger PR320 6/0
Thread: 100/150D GSP
Bucktail: White, grey, blue & pink
Schlappen or Saddle feathers in white, grey and grizzly
Hedron Magnum Flashabou in moonlight

Ten Minute Tube – Paul Monaghan

From Paul Monaghan:
“TMT (Ten Minute Tube) is a super easy and durable tube fly to slid over the Mono Rig. Here I use body tubing to create the volume before finishing with synthetics, flash and natural material. If you have never heard of the Mono Rig, then check out my previous tutorial on how to tie it and its versatility. The colour I am tying has proved the most successful last season for those predators with teeth.”

Material List:
Nordic Anglers Tube: 4.8mm (XL Pike Tube)
Thread: 100D GSP
JBM Pike Skinz Saltwater Fibre – Dark Brown
Hedron Polar Flash – Gold and Copper
Big Streamers Nayat – Black
