OSD: Here's my first try at a light Hendrickson dry. I'm tying from Dave Hughes Trout Flies and he calls for a body of urine-stained male fox belly fur. I have the fur but I don't know about the urine-stained part..... How exact do you want these patterns to be??

The hackle on this fly from a Metz #3 piece I got with my tying kit and leaves a lot to be desired... I may try a dark Hendrickson instead (have a nice 1/2 cape Whiting dark dun).

They can be standard patterns or your own vershion it don't matter.

Yes a metz #3 isn't what you want for a dry flies, but as I said in the first post it can be Hendrickson Nymphs, Emerges, Dun or Spinners.

So if you don't need to be tying drys if you don't want to.
