Hook: Jens Pilgaard
Thread: Danville 6/0 Primrose
Tag: Krenick black flash tinsel, and X ribbed with super fine sliver pink
Kennick tinsel
Tail: four dyed black GP crest
Butt: black Ostrich herl
Body: UTC Peacock braid
Rib: antique vintage orangish/redish/copperish fine oval tinsel
Palmered Hackle: that feather from the other night that never got used on the
other fly.....dyed light bright green Grizzley saddle hackle, which after i had
run it up along snug to the ribbing from the thrid turn on, (and there are 6
turns of ribbing), i wraped the rest to begin the collar.....maybe 4 turns.
Collar: 4 turns of the green saddle hackle and then 4 more feathers from my new
Chinese Pond Heron Mount.....one dark brown first, then one cream colored, then
another dark brown and another cream colored.....
Head: dyed yellow and blue
Eye: dyed blue, red, and green
i couldn't find a bead small enough, with a whole big enough, to really work
well with this hook, so i just went wiffout.....Misa managed to get this
pic.....mine sucked. The tag and body really look good in hand.....difficult to
see the work in the pic.....but the main thing is the Chinese Pond Heron
feathers.........i mean in terms of their beauty............wow, they are
incredable......like all Heron feathers they are much stiffer than pheasent
feathers and not as unmanageable.....pheasent pheathers are fine when that's
what you've got.....but Heron feathers (jndividual fibers that is), are so much
nicer to work with..........they stay where you put them much easier. And these
particular feathers are some of the smallest on the bird. There are much larger
ones. Yes, there is a God.
