Ostermann's RUH Drake SBS

Recommended Posts

36508531855_023be16381_o.jpg

 

RUH - Real Ungulate Hair; had to change the name since I used elk for the wing and body. Took the basic Carnage framework and draped it with said ungulate hair. Notional tying sequence; body's a bit chunky, a few less tail fibers next time. Tied here as a Fall Drake; change color/size to suit your needs.

 

 

hook Dai Riki 135 #12

thread/rib - UTC 140 tan

core - 7lb mono

tail - deer hair

rib - Uni 6/0 camel

abdomen/wing - yearling elk hair bleached

hackle - deer hair

 

make a loop in a piece of mono
