That's a great looking fly, the way the badger's dark center brings out the body segmentation and the thorax, the subtle speckling from the partridge feather. Really really nice.

Excellent tie. 🍺

I searched for Jingler and there is nice video also on youtube. This is some Scottish pattern?

Not sure if it’s a Scottish pattern but I first found them on a few U.K. sites.

Not getting the not looking at ties that are on barbed hooks.Just tie it it on a barbless hook maybe?I do not fish for trout except spring and fall stocked trout in still water.I use barbless on fish that tend to swallow the fly.I am under no regulations to do so.I do it for the fish so they can be easily and quickly released.I do hook myself now and then but not near as much as trying to unhook a large fish from a crankbait .I really don't see any issue with what a person uses to fish with as long as it is legal where they are.I fished in Canada years ago,caught literally 100s of fish.When we came home the border guards searched the truck our belongings etc.We kept 0 fish and they did not believe us.

I agree with everything said above, this can be said about all you're ties Scott but for some reason or another this one hooked me, what a beauty

Ginger Quill dry fly

Thats what i call it, i do a google search and a different fly shows up. If any of you know the proper name please tell me

Every year i tie tons of these for a few fly shops. this year's order is 10 dz of each in size 12,14 and 16, i have a long way to go still

 

todays flies

 

since Monday

 

materials I'm using and the mess

 

recipe

hook- tmc 100

thread- uni 8/0 camel 

tail- barred ginger fibers

body- barred ginger stripped quill

wing- wood duck/ lemon

hackle- barred dark ginger

i usually apply a bit of glue before winding the stripped quill but all the bottles are dried up even the unopen ones.  I used thin uv resin instead

Very nice ties and glad you are able to make a few bucks tying.Have had that happen with all different brands of CV glue my self.I don't understand how the factory sealed bottles go bad but they do.If it has shelf life it should say so IMO.
