Thats a nice looking fly.
Its hard for me to see, did you use copper ribbing?

[Troutlord1]

Yep I used Fine Copper wire on em.Next batch I will use a strand of Midge
Flash for the rib. TY for the compliment!!!

[RippinLipp]

Not a problem.
I'll be tying a dozen or so in the next few days.:D

[Troutlord1]

Since you will be tying some up I used medium dun cdc oiler puffs for the wing and brown hen saddle for the hackle the rest is a regular PT body tail thorax etc. These were tied on TMC #3761 #10 hooks and 5/32 gold beads just
in case you wanted to know!!:)

[Shoeman]

Those will work, Tom!!! :D

Ever try poly yarn or Z-Lon for the wing? That's some tough stuff. I use it for the tail shucks on my caddis. The entire fly will be trashed, but the tail's still in good shape. :lol:

Yep I sure do!! I use it on my X Caddis as well for tailing shucks and I use it for spinner wings on smaller may's like trico's b.w.o.'s and sulphers and I like to use crinckly z lon for shucks on mahoganies and b.w.o.'s!
I use it for parachute post too!!! Great Stuff.:)

Heres the alternate version!! The 1st batch is for my ebay site, this 1 is for me for my fly box!!:)
This one I used regular brown cdc for the tail midge flash for the rib regular brown cdc for the wing and a softer (metz hen saddle #2) ginger/brown for the hackle. I fished 1 similar to this on our opening day trip and got 1 6" Brookie so this 1 should work too :lol:
(I tried the macro setting and no flash for the pic so this just proves MY CAMERA SUCKS lol )
