Peggy Why invent a fly I use this one on the Till & Tweed rivers in the spring. Local pattern never been told the name. iain
hook - 16-10 down eyed wet fly Tail - speckled grey white Mallard or teal breast Body - Rear half silver lurex front half dark red seals fur Rib - silver wire Wing - speckled grey white Mallard or teal breast Hackle (tied as a beard) pale blue Head black The darker the day the less silver in the body the brighter the day the more silver in the body In autumn it gets a dull yellow hackle instead of the blue ................................................................. Here are the rules, I 'm looking for some suggestions for a wet fly pattern, no larger than a size 8 and colors must be Royal Blue, claret/maroon, white and gray. I've come up with a collared wet; collar being white and gray hackle, with a claret seal dubbed body and a royal blue parrot quill tail, any better suggestions? -- Peggy Brenner _________________________________________________________________ Share your photos with Windows Live Photos – Free. http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/134665338/direct/01/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.
