By standard definition this fly has no ‘tip.’ Trout - Ray Bergman Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only under body is the dubbing, not even a rib. I followed the tightlines youtube pattern. Obviously this fly lends itself to being tied with many choices of wing and hackle feathers in many colors. I chose brown, almost brown and sort of brown because that's the color of the local bugs generally. 13 hours ago, chugbug27 said: Ooolala Thanks Chug!

flytire 0 Report post Posted January 20, 2023 thanks after looking at it, the wing is too wide (it should have been 2/3 hook gape) the tail could lose 2-3 fibers to make it narrower other than that its okay 😄 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
