Materials
Hook- Daiichi 1560 #12
Thread- uni 8/0 orange
Tag- Gold Holographic
Tail- Bronze Mallard
Rib- Oval gold tinsel
Body- Fox squirrel dub. Cut up very fine
Hackle- Dark Partridge
Wing- Pheasant wing slips.
With the dubbin cut up fine the orange thread bleeds through wonderfully. Just dub it very lightly. The tag is just to add some flash. Sometimes that can make all the difference.
Great fly and photo. Reminds me of the color plates from Ray Bergman's Trout.
ReplyDeleteThank you, The fly really kicked but the last couple time out.
