My January’s flies are on their way.

 

I have wanted to tie the “Utah Killer Bug” for a while now but had a hard time finding the correct yarn to tie it with. Did some research and found that the Jamieson’s Shetland Spindrift yarn was supposed to be the closest substitute for the original yarn used, (that is no longer available). I’ve had it on order for a while and it just showed up. I also have pink wire on order but it didn’t get here on time so these are tied with red since it is the closet I had on hand. I’ve heard a lot about this fly being simple but very effective. Tied with wire and yard, it’s a two material fly unless you count the hook and glue… Anyway, new for me.

 

Thanks again for hosting!

trez, that killer bug has proved itself many times over to people on another board who talk about it a lot. Simple but seems to represent something they want to eat.

Mine will be placed in the mail hopefully this afternoon if I can get out of work in time if not it will be in the morning. Should have plenty of time for them to reach you since your are just right across the Red River from me. Hope all is well your way up there!!!!

OK, I sent the flies to the wrong person ... never done that before. Fortunately he turned them around today to vicrider. So sorry about that!
