Skyggen

The Shadow, a very cool Danish seatrout fly; here’s a nice video.  I tip-tied the collar feather on mine because the stem was pretty thick and stiff at the base; I’ve seen them tied with a traditional hackle collar but the fluff looked so wild I had to go with this version.

hook - WFC Model 6 #6
thread - Danville 6/0 black
tail - calftail dyed red
body - Ice Dub Black
body hackle - brown
collar - grizzly hackle fluff dyed hot pink (1 Tbs Rit Fuchsia/4 cups water)

Regards,
Scott

dyed starling is near the top.

harvest them on the bird feeder then pluck and dye with grape koolaid you can skin them and borax and dye they tear very easy but are plentiful enough great bird to learn and practice on not protected by any means.

Good idea, but I don't get many at the feeder.

@Moshup Thanks. You're putting up some great ties yourself.

As to the rest of you folks, very impressive work.

They love suet but I don’t see as many up here in New England as I did in NY.
