December Flies From The Vise

March Dun

Hook - Mustad 3399 or equivalent

Thread - Black

Tag - Flat gold tinsel

Body - Medium green wool, picked out

Wing - Light slate

Trout - Ray Bergman

As simple as this fly looks, I tied it 3 times to get it right. The duck quills I have are just crap to work with. I ended up using wing primary feather quills from a matched pair of Eurasian Jay. A nice light slate color.

Here’s his video if you’re interested; I skipped the legs (don’t have any) and added a shoulder instead 

hook - WFC Model 6 #10
thread - Uni 8/0  fire orange 
tag - medium tinsel holo red 
rib - small wire gold
body - dubbing neon melon 
body hackle - dyed sunburst (1 Tbs Rit Golden Yellow/1 cup water) 
shoulder - sharptail grouse dyed neon peach (2 Tsp Rit Golden Yellow, 1/8 Tsp Rit Coral/1 cup water)
Collar/head - deer hair dyed burnt orange (3 Tsp Rit Golden Yellow, 1/8 Tsp Rit Cocoa Brown/1 cup water)

Haven’t worked out the proper dye mixture to approximate the Bann Valley Supernatural in coral yet, so I chopped up and blended some yellow and fuchsia/magenta yarn and got a neat color.

It’s probably not a match and it’s doubtful the stupid trout I fish for will appreciate the effort but they may bite.

Regards,
Scott

Flytire and SBPatt are at another level, but I really like the wallywing and poopdecks dry fly. Poopdeck what is the material list for your fly?

thanks again, Mike.

The version in E.J. Malone’s Irish Trout and Salmon Flies called for fiery brown front hackle and dark grouse shoulder but I’d just dyed a batch of feathers burnt orange and thought I’d give them a try.

hook - WFC Model 6 #10
thread - Uni 8/0 black 
tail - bronze mallard
rib - small wire gold
body - Swiss Straw
body hackle - furnace
1st shoulder - hackle dyed burnt orange (3 Tsp Rit Golden Yellow, 1/8 Tsp Rit Cocoa Brown/1 cup water)
2nd shoulder - sharptail grouse dyed burnt orange

Regards,
Scott
