VERN-O 0 Report post Posted March 7, 2007 thanks trout traveler I appreciate the comments. The photo was taken with a digital camera through the eye piece of a low powered microscope (7x magnification) Yes a whole hackle was used to hackle....I'm really on the fence whether to strip one sside of the stem or not.

Soft-hackle 0 Report post Posted March 7, 2007 Hi Vern, I like the one with the orange thorax. This is more traditional in appearance. Nemes suggests a pinkish orange thorax, which is what I use. The Tups has become "indispensible" for me, and I've caught many trout on it. Yours looks as if it will do the same. Nice work! Mark Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flytyer56 0 Report post Posted March 8, 2007 VERN-O or Soft-hackle one of you guys should put that one in the data base. Vern I like the looks of that one. Nice job. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soft-hackle 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2007 I added my Tups pattern to the pattern database. It is a bit different from Vern's. Vern's is all dubbing, I believe. This one is from Nemes' selection. I have used silk buttonhole twist, which is what Leisenring used. Leisenring also used the blue dun hen. Nemes uses dyed Iron blue dun partridge. All of them work.
