Was tough doing both soft hackle and dry fly hackle on the same fly. It looks similar to a grunter pattern Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Landon P 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2020 Here is my Royal Wulff. It got chewed up when my vise locked up and I couldn't get it out but I'll fish it and see how long it lasts. I wasn't feeling the white calf tail so I tied in yellow calf tail instead. Looks much much better then when I tried last time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I took the lazy way and used a hackle I had laying around next time I will use more effort. Thanks for the kind words! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McFlyLures 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2020 The body rib on this was tough. 4 different materials all spaced out together to give the look of a gradation ribbing. I didn’t have quills in Orange... lol! I made my own Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
