The challenge thread!

Recommended Posts

Some 16 IOBO Humpy.

Hook: Fulling mill 5050 size 16

Thread: UTC 70d Gray brown

Body and wing: Trouthunter caddis tan CDC

When palmering the thread from the bend to the eye binding down the body, I used some trouthunter light gray CDC dubbing instead of bare thread. 

Next up is Atherton's #3 tied dry.

"Dyret" was already a challenge fly 

maybe something else should be chosen

Thanks Norm, I was too lazy to look.

Sorry about that @Gadabout. 

Something somewhat similar: Corey Calf Tail

link from Norm's site Fly Tying New and Old:

Have also seen it tied down-wing style with the hackle fully palmering the length of the body, not sure what the original recipe called for.  Tyers choice.
