And I like the feather wing, may have to tie a few of those. It isn't slippery, I had no trouble with that. You are right, it isn't hollow like the deer hairs are so it doesn't flair.

Take the color away and leave just a black and white picture and you could have a plate from Bill Blades' neat book "Fishing Flies and Fly Tying" from 1951!

Your comment started me on a search and then attempt at Bergman's Butcher: Hook: #8, 2XL Thread: White for body Body: Red Floss Rib: Yellow floss Tail: Red duck quill Thread: Black for head Hackle: Badger saddle hackle, dyed yellow (I think the original calls for a stiff silver badger, of which I have none. Lesson learned: embroidery floss is a poor substitute when needing a smooth body. Looks good! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gonna try to cut some outa mesh ribbon stuff. That looks great w/o detached body! Mark uses a similar wing too, I think. Thanks, one of youse guys. I have lots of the wing stuff if anybody wants some. It's thinner than the Mylar sheet I have. Lem'me know if you want some. It looks like someone had been cutting some wings from it with a cutter before I got it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
