December Flies From the Vise

Recommended Posts

The next few are leftover flies.
I have this white buck tail with only the natural brown hair left and I thought it was a waste to just get rid of it. So I tied six tails on six hooks and this is the first one I have done:

Red Quill, size 12. 

Tail: Dun hackle fibers

Body: Red quill

Wings: Wood duck

Hackle: Dun

Quill Gordon, size 12. 

Tail: Dun hackle fibers

Body: Stripped peacock quill

Wings: Wood duck

Hackle: Dun

Notes: Pretty stoked how these turned out, truth be told. Far from being able to crank these ones out quickly and I definitely took my time to get things as right as I could, but am glad that I did. Getting much better at splitting the wings; big assist from Valla's book "Tying Catskill Style Dry Flies" on that front as well as the inspiration.

Jaimeofthenorth nice dries.  Valla’s book is great and I’ve often recommended it to tyers who are interested in tying 

dries.  You’re gonna have to shop around for some decent tailing hackle which now due to genetics can not be found as 

easily on the genetic dry fly capes.  A strong non webbed tail is needed to keep the ship upright and looking good.

Jamieofthenorth,

These are going to slay them on the Machias this year.  Great tie.  Dividing wing is not an easy task to master.  Doing a great job so far.
