January Flies from the Vise

Recommended Posts

I'm kind of liking this UV resin. Takes some time, and clean up afterwards, but it make a cool looking fly.

 

Another attempt at a grass shrimp/scud hybrid.

I think the Bluegill will like it.

A vintage pattern attributed to the Rev. Edward Powell. Instructions also call for it be tied with opposing partridge hackles; I prefer this Jingler variation. With a few mods, this would make a decent western Spruce Moth.
hook - Mustad 3999A #12
thread - Danville 6/0 black
tail - yarn yellowish orange
rib - Uni-Stretch black
body - dubbing white (original calls for wool; rabbit used here)
hackle - barred cream (white called for but unavailable)
collar - partridge
Regards,
Scott

I was not too crazy about the shrimp I tied yesterday, so I stripped it back to a point and added a new shell, UV resin, trimmed the hackle a bit and... here it is.
