I think this is the best part of this thread, taking on a new techniques and patterns. If you trim the longer hairs that are within the clipped portion of the head, I think it looks pretty darn good!

niveker 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2023 Amy's Ant Hook: #12 terrestrial Thread: 72D, camel Underbody: Orange craft foam Overbody: Brown craft foam Legs: FTD, medium golden stone Hackle: Brown rooster saddle, trimmed short. Body: FTD, UV-X rainbow dubbing, hot orange Underwing: Flashabou Overwing: Deer hair. Thorax: FTD, UV-X rainbow dubbing, hot orange Notes: Created in the 90's by Jack Dennis and named after his daughter, it won the Jackson Hole One Fly tournament in 1999. Not sure what the original recipe was, but it is most commonly tied using tan and brown foam for the under and over body, respectively; medium brown round rubber legs; olive krystal chenille for the body; rainbow flash for the underwing, and elk for the overwing. Like many good fly patterns, change the material up as desired. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
