AHREX - Sid - tied by Andreas Andersson

Articulated trout streamer designed and tied by Swedish Andreas Andersson. Sid is named after the funny ground sloth from the movie Ice Age - due to the similarities in head shape. The flat front head and the sharp cut edges makes this fly dive and wiggle. Andreas tied this fly on the Ahrex TP650 - 26 Degree Bent Streamer, that is designed specially for Sid, Drunk & Disorderly and other flies requiring a bend hook shank. Andreas was a vital part of the team that designed this hook.

Phenomenal tie, thanks Andreas. I've learned some invaluable tying techniques from you and I appreciate it. I'm sure this one will duck and dive!

Great lookinf fly!!! I am just wandering...... On the back hook you have a rabbit strip an then you cover it. Is the strip ( the "wing part" ) more for support for the feather or does ti help with the motion in any way??
