March 2019 Flies From the Vise

Recommended Posts

A late night after work tying session resulted in this thing. A nerf tube rattle popper. Pardon the messy tying table....

I think that's why THE ADMIRAL insists my "set-up" is cleared after I tie. And actually that isn't a bad arrangement.

 

She's seen my workbenches in the basement.

 

Actually, she hasn't seen them for years - and neither have I - under all the clutter. ;-)

Frank Sawyer style Pheasant Tail.

 

Hook: Mustad 9672 size 16

Thread: none (!)

Tail: 5 Ringneck Pheasant tail fibers - and they are also the body and wing case (from same five fibers)

Rib: fine copper wire

 

Have not tried these before. The wire is used to build up a hump at the thorax, then wound back to attach the tail fibers, which then are wound forward with the wire to the head, and back to form the wing case, and forward again and tied off at the head (two had-hitches in the wire. Then cement the wing case and head. Few materials, but a odd technique.

Got the tail a little too long on this one.
