Reply With QuoteMatuka styles work fine - as well as any other fly patterns tied on jigs. IMO the tail is a bit too long, even if you shorten it up the barbules on the feather are going to pulse as you retreive it. Nice tie keep em coming.

How would a Matuka style fly tied on a jig, perhaps in different colors be as a crappie fly? How aggressive are crappies and is the length of the feathers a little too long?

Nice tie been years since I tied one but think in the the right color combo it would be a good crappie catcher. Blue feather with white body.or chartruse feather and black body. Now where is that box of feathers. Thanks for the Idea love it.
