A Tokaryk Special is not hard to tie. There are only 2 tying materials. The original fly came from a pattern designed for Tokaryk Lake in the Parkland Region of Manitoba. The pattern has evolved a bit from the original. I like to tie it balanced from size 16 all the way to size 8! Here is how Phil Rowley and I tie it now! You can also tie the pattern with tungsten head turner beads, like the video below. This pattern has been a great choice lately on a variety of lakes in Central Alberta!
Sequin pins bought at Michaels.
I have settled on this dubbing for the pattern!
Step One
Build a chassis with a size 14 jig hook, a 7/64ths tungsten bead and a sequin bead. Be sure to super glue it! (I have been using Pro Tyer Hooks and beads from Canadian Llama Company )
Step Two
Tie in a marabou tail about the length of the shank of the hook!
Step Three
Make a dubbing loop and insert dubbing. Tying Note: Keep dubbing sparse. Then twist up dubbing with a dubbing twister!
Step Four
Wrap dubbing up shank of the hook and whip finish! Take a velco brush and give the dubbing a bit of a style.
Ready to go!
