Yellow Sally

Recommended Posts

Terje, if I count correctly this is one yellow CDC, one brown CDC feather and a little dubbing for the body....

 

... now that I call an awesome simplicity, almost Zen like. Thumb up! :thumbsup:

Thanks a lot Ulf and Firetiger :)

 

Firetiger:

I used two cdc feathers. One yellow and one dark olive cdc feather with a drop of super glue at the back to make sure they stick togheter, and made a mix of cdc fibers and polyamid dubbing for the body. Used a coffee blender to mix dubbing material :)

 

Terje!

There are Yellow and Lime colored "Sallys" on this side of the pond. This pattern is just the think for them. Nice one Terje. We use a fly in Utah called a Mormon Girl. It has a red egg sack on a yellow body. I will have to try your pattern on some of mine. I find this a really good summer fly for small streams in the mountians of the wester US.

That is right Utyer! I now have time to tye those up and be ready when late spring comes and give them work out. I love simplicity in a fly. I have reading a European CDC fly tying book. Good read.
