Weekly Fly Tying Contest #7

[bluegill576 0]

Sorry for not posting the contest last week, I can never seem to remember. The category for this week is an idea of sukhoidave here is what he wrote "I would like to make a proposal for the next contest. How about a 4 part wet fly - that is only 4 parts beside the hook and thread - so basically a simple wet fly with a tail of 1 material, a body of 1 material, a simple 1 material wing, and 1 material hackle. If you want to add a tag you would have to forfeit another part like no tail or add a rib and forfeit the wing as in a soft hackle... Get the idea?"

 

you must put the name of the fly, recipe for the fly, a picture of the fly halfway done and a picture of the finished fly. you must have your flies in by thursday at 10 pm est. Please participate to keep the weekly contest going.

Thank goodness there's still tomorrow. It was my idea so I wanted to participate - I'm gonna be doing a demo of this fly in March so I wanted to practice it some before. This is my second go at it, but I've tied a bunch of classic "Bergman" wets.

 

This is a Bog Pond wet fly

Hook Mustad 3906 This is a size 6(new style apparently - micro barb and really heavy...)

Thread Black 6/0 Danville Flymaster

Tail - Golden Pheasant tippet fibers

Body - Black chennile - this is size "fine"

Wing - Mottled turkey wing quill slips

Hackle - Grizzly hen neck.

 

I'm not sure I understand the idea of the half way picture - my wife had the camera when I was tying so I tied a half of the fly and another complete fly and managed to get 1 decent picture of them both.

 

Thanks for looking and to those who submitted a fly this week.

I think it is just to show that you actually did tie it and not buy it?
