SBPatt 0 Report post Posted November 14, 2020 Muddled Blue Zulu Snatcher First attempt at dyeing white pronghorn. Seemed to suck up the color readily, although it might be a bit too intense; may try it again with a more diluted solution. hook - WFC Model 11 #10 thread - Veevus 6/0 black tag - Danville single strand floss flame rib - small wire silver body - Ice Dub peacock black hackle - black collar/head - pronghorn dyed blue (1 Tbs Rit Aquamarine, 1/8 Tsp Rit Kelly Green/1 cup water) Regards, Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SBPatt 0 Report post Posted November 14, 2020 Stone Goat Snatcher Had to sub dyed grizzly for the body hackle since I didn’t have any plain in that size. Since I doubt any fish I put this in front of have ever seen the original, it’s unlikely they’ll notice the difference. hook - WFC Model 11 #10 thread - Danville 6/0 black tag - Depth Ray fire orange/resin rib - small wire gold body - Ice Dub black hackle - grizzly dyed claret (1 Tbs rit Wine/1 cup water) cheeks - biots orange collar/head - hen black Regards, Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven’t had much experience dyeing black; from what I know, it’s best to dye it dark brown or dark blue first before the black. I bought the rump patch already dyed so I didn’t have to deal with that. Regards, Scott Thanks for the info Scott. I tried dying buck tail with Rit dye and it came out grey with bluish overtones. I really like the color but not what I expected. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
