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.

30# Fireline thru hook eye and tied down along hook shank.


Fireline tied along top and bottom of hook for strong connection, then super glue very lightly along shank for extra strong hold(optional)
*note fireline loop should be about 1 1/4 inches.

Tie in at the middle small clump of red ice dub along inside edge of hook just on front of fireline.



Bringing forward facing ice dub to the rear and outside edge and tie down.

Trim Ice dub to slightly more than 1/8th of an inch in length.

Tie in Chinchilla rabbit strip in front of red ice dub. Tail should not extend past fireline.

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.

Take one wrap of rabbit around hook shank and tie off.
6-10 strands or however many you prefer rainbow holographic flashabou tied down in middle just in front of the rabbit on top.

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


Slide medium clump of Chartreuse ice dub over the hook eye and tie down in the middle of clump just in front of flash with three wraps.

Stroke back the forward facing ice dub and make about 5-8 wraps just in front to hold it in place.
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.

Steelie blue ice dub in a dubbing loop. 2-3 wraps behind eyes, a couple wraps around the eyes, tie off and whip finish.


Attach hook and your ready to go fishing.

Small batch of avengers ready to go.

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
