Sili Shiner

Sili skin is some sweet looking stuff once you can use it. This fly is pretty simple to tie.















Using a Saber Salmon Hook, Size 4
















Wrap Lead to the start of the hook eye to keel and swim naturally once finished.
















Tie in marabou and flashabou tail, in this case white and pearl are used.















Wrap back to the start of the tail after you tie in the Pearl EZ body.
















Push the tubing back and secure at tail, whip finish and put some head cement on the back part.















Fold over the sheets of sili skin and cut at the fold to make a symmetrical shaped minnow body















Peel backing off of material and place it over tubing evenly















Fold sili skin together on itself and sqeeze down the entire length to secure it and shape a minnow body.















Add prismatic eyes for a finished look, and trim body to look even underneath if needed.
