Avenger
Thread:6/0 white or blue uni-thread
Hook: 2220 size 2 or any large streamer hook that you don't mind cutting with a large eye that can be tied with eye facing up.
Hot spot: red ice dub
Tail: Chinchilla rabbit strip
Body: Pheasant tail ice dub
Wing: Holographic rainbow flashabou
Throat: Chartreuse ice dub
Eyes: Large bead chain gold
Head: Steelie blu ice dub
stinger hook: Daiichi or Gamakatsu octopus hook size 4
The hook in this instance is a down eye streamer hook but we are going to cut the hook above the bend and place in the vise with the eye facing up.
Great fly in the surf when fished with a sink tip and a go to fly for swinging on sunny days in early and late Fall.

With hook in the vise take thread base back about one inch along hook shank.

*note fireline loop should be about 1 1/4 inches.

Dub a very small body, not longer than 1/4 of an inch with pheasant tail ice dub, and tie rabbit down just in front of dubbed body.

Fold back the forward facing strands of flashabou and tie off.


Tie on large gold bead chain eyes leaving about an 1/8th of an inch between bead chain and hook eye so we can whip finish later.

Attach hook and your ready to go fishing.

Its always hard to name a fly but when i read about the "Avengers" movie being filmed in Cleveland right now it seemed like a natural fit. Good Luck
