Found this version here; came across a hen skin I haven’t used often while rooting around for some decent brown partridge and decided to give it a shot.

hook - WFC Model 6 #8
thread - Uni 8/0 fire orange
tail - golden pheasant crest
rib - small wire gold
body - dubbing golden olive
body hackle(s) - red/yellow
collar - mottled hen

“Iron Blue Dun”

Hook. .....  Mustad3906.  Sz 18

Thread ...  Pearsalls Gossamer claret

Tail.  .....    three or 4 light hen dun hackle fibres

Body. ....   touch dub natural mole making sure thread shows through.

Hackle ..   Neck feather from a Jack Daw (fragile). I’m sure starling would do just fine.

Just nosing through my tying materials and trying to get better acquainted with some of them that I’ve been neglecting. Tied this fly up from a Welsumer hen skin. Many rich wonderful feathers on that bird for tying .

Wow, some really great ties posted over the week-end, great work everyone.   

@Mogup, thanks.  Your quill bodies look great, as do those flymphs.

From Shetland tyer Leslie Barclay, his Sunburst Stingy Bee Half Hog. Found this version here; swapped the dubbed head for a hackle collar, mainly due to materials on hand.

hook - 270BL #10
thread - Uni 8/0 fire orange
tag - medium tinsel gold
body - dubbing 2/3 claret, 1/3 olive
wing(s) - deer hair dyed olive
collar - hen dyed sunburst (1 Tbs Rit Golden Yellow/1 cup water)

Regards,
Scott

My attempt at a fly I saw on a vendor’s website. I have no idea what it is called. This is my first attempt at spinning pine squirrel zonk strips.  I tried to follow Tim Flagler’s instruction on another fly for the technique.  It will definitely take practice, that’s for sure.  That said, I know this fly will produce on my streams!

Hook: size 14 curved 

Body: Brown tube material

Thorax/hackle: Spun Pine squirrel zonk strip, tan.

Bead: Firehole Pumpkin Pie 3.5mm

Mogup,

Do you know of a source for Welsumer skins.  I Googled and found no info on skins, just the birds themselves.

 

Thanks, Bob H
