Bloody-Butcher-800.jpg



Bloody Butcher







Hook - Mustad 9672, #4-6






Thread - Black






Tail - Scarlet and yellow hackle fibers


Ribbing - Fine gold wire


Hackle - Scarlet and yellow saddles, palmered






Body - Peacock herl






Wing - Gray squirrel






Head - Peacock herl











Tying Note











The scarlet and yellow body hackles should be "doubled" or "blended" together prior to tying in by the tips at the tail end of the fly, and then wound on as a single hackle, wet-fly style, over the peacock herl body.











The process of doubling, setting, or bending a hackle, as it is variously described, is quite easily accomplished by putting a hackle plier over an upright post and then catching the the hackle tip or tips in the hackle plier jaws, which leaves both hands free. The butt end of the quill is held with the right hand and the hackle fibers are folded over from the butt to tip with the left hand.

At least it started life as an attempt at a Wickham. Again, more an experiment in dyeing, this time looking for shades of ginger; also dyed some bleached pheasant tail, which turned out well, but decided to go with natural on the back end to relieve the monochrome effect I got with first Musty Ruddler. Rob Denson's wet used fox squirrel for the wing but I liked how the marmot tail looked so I subbed.

 

The deer hair was left in the dye bath for a while and took on a darker, golden shade which I'm not unhappy with.

Scott, you sure are hard on yourself. Those flies are so cool. I hear they catch a fish or two (that's probably the easiest test for a fly) You might be your toughest critic. How many shades of gold do you have?
