I'm looking for a photo of a Maynard Marvel. If I could get a few samples, that would be great. Thanks.

As with anything hand made, you will find many twists and variations on flies. Best thing to do is "google" Maynards Marvel and then choose the tyers pattern you like best, copy that picture and bring it to your fly-tier to have them match it.
I use a variation that has black and white "cheek" feathers, yellow body feathers and orange "hook wrap". When using a tandem, orange or red beads on the connecting wire.
If you look online, you'll see some variations don't even use feathers...
I'd post a pic, but I'm late as it is.

Go to ME.Gov then to IF & W where you will find links to fly fishing & fly tying including an excellent site w/ color photos

here's 2 golden marvels which work really well on winni early spring.

hope this helps

Here's some images I found to show how subtle or drastic a change different tiers have on the same fly.

The bottom picture is a Joe's Smelt. Like this one from a different tier

That's what I thought... but there's a website out there selling them as Maynard's Marvels. Just pulled the pic from there before posting it.

This is the site that i use when i need to look at a patterns. http://globalflyfisher.com/streamers/

That's a good site, i go there alot for ideas or to copy flies.

My two favorites - maynard marvels & joe's smelt.

Thanks guys. The one I was looking for was the middle photo provided by Slipknot. All the others do look like fun in the making.

saw that on
