niveker 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2022 BLACK GHOST MATUKA Not sure about keeping the beard with the collar, may be a bit too much, may work well by filling out the profile. Thought's anyone? Second matuka style I've tied. Getting the ribbing even while at the same time splitting the hackle without trapping any fibers will need a bit more practice. Hook: #6 Thread: black Tail: yellow kip tail Rib: Coats & Clark Metallic Thread, silver Body: black floss Wing: 4 white rooster saddle hackles Beard: yellow kip tail Hackle: badger dyed yellow Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SBPatt 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2022 Gingerpus hook - WFC Model 6 #10 thread - Danville 6/0 rust tail - yarn gold rib - small wire gold body - hare’s ear bleached body hackle - dyed ginger (1/4 Tsp Rit Tan, 1/8 Tsp Rit Golden Yellow/4 cups water) 1st shoulder - golden pheasant body red 2nd shoulder - hen pheasant body feather Got the hackle color I was looking for by trying different times in the dye bath; this one was in for about 90 seconds. Longer and it takes on more of an orangish tinge. Regards, Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
