Jens Lund Adamsen 0 Report post Posted December 9, 2009 Hi all Here is an old standard from the Spey. "The Carron Fly". The special feature of this fly is the body hackle, wich is a black breast feather from an old herron. It gives this flowing delicate look. (I know it is impossible to get in the States because it is prohibited by law). In Denmark it is legal to posses but it is not easy to come around. That said I hope you like it. Here is the pattern Hook: CS10/1 #2/0 Ribs: Flat and oval silver tinsel Reverse rib: Fine oval silver tinsel Body: Orange Berlin wool Body hackle: Black breast feather form herron Fronthackle (optional): Teal (I used widgeon) Wings: Bronze mallard Head: Black Regards Jens Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
