I can't remember exactly where I saw it, but I came across a fly that was tied entirely out of marabou. Does anyone tie something similar?
It looked really easy to tie and apparently just "comes alive" in the water. I'm thinking the marabou was wrapped or palmered.
If anyone had a name of the fly or ties one, I'd be interested in hearing more about it.

Trent,
There are some that come to mind but most are steelhead flies.
The only fly I can recall entirely out of marabou is called a Cottonseed or Cotton Wood Seed. It is a carp fly and is only useable when the cotton wood seeds are blowing around. Apperantly carp love cotton wood seeds.
The others I can think of that are mostly marabou are steelhead.
1) Popsicle, it consist of orange and cherry-red flourescent marabou with some flash material and purple schlappen collar.
2) Showgirl, this one is cerise marabou with some purple Flashabou and a Purple marabou collar.
3) Tequila Sunrise, this is tied with pink marabou and salmon-orange marabou. There is also some flash material and a collar of red schlappen.
You could use marabou for the collars instead of schlappen.
These are just a few. The steelhead flies are in a book written by thingy Stewart and Farrow Allen called Flies for Steelhead. I believe I got mine at Flymasters.

Any reason why a lot of the steelhead and salmon flies wouldn't work for pike?
