SCFlyTyer 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2013 Here in the Deep South, we say 'Merry Christmas Y'All!' I had seen this pattern before, but thought I would give it a shot. This is spun deer hair -- green with a little olive for contrast -- trimmed to look like a Christmas tree. Small (4 mm) jewels added as ornaments and capped with a star bead. You can actually insert them in clear glass or plastic ornaments to give a 'fly in a bottle' effect. I will share some with family and fly fishing friends. Just something to get in the Christmas spirit!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Troutbum11 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2013 HaHa.... Im tying the same flies right now too for some of my family members. I saw this in the last Fly Tyer magazine. Is this where you saw it as well ? very nice looking. The glass ornament idea is pretty cool. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
