Dr Fish 0 Report post Posted August 20, 2011 Beautifully executed! Is that a single, undivided wing? Thank you, It's a divided wing but it doesn't show very well in the photo. Not that I think it makes much of a difference with the calf tail unless you split them really wide :-) That's some wrinkly stuff.. /David S. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr Fish 0 Report post Posted September 5, 2011 Can you give the recipe? It's a really buggy looking fly. Here's the recipe straight from "The Dettes" by Eric Leiser, I'm sure there are other variants but this is the one I followed: Wing: White calf tail fibers Tail: Woodchuck tail fibers Body: Buff tan dubbing with rusty orange highlight (I used woodchuck under fur mixed with orange seal) Hackle: Grizzly and brown mixed The fly was not designed by any of the Dettes but by a guy called Francis Betters. /David S.
