albannachxcuileag Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Getting away from Marabou and to a more realistic appearance gave rise to this effort using generic olive hackles that someone gave to me in a Branston Pickle Jar! Quote
albannachxcuileag Posted October 15, 2007 Author Posted October 15, 2007 what's wrong with marabou? Nowt! Just trying out a more realistic tying as Damsels have taken more fish for me than anything else this year. Even the little size 14 Headlamp does the business as well as the size 10 Goldhead but I want to get them a bit more real if you know what I mean. Quote
Guest bigbadbrent Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 not sure what Nowt means, but other then that, i get what you mean Quote
Flytyer Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 I think he means nothing......just look at the context it was used. Quote
Guest bigbadbrent Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 yeah, i took it as nothing, just wasn't sure... Quote
Inconnu Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 I wonder what dyed olive emu tips would look like for the tail/gills? Or is it too fragile? I like the pattern, but then I love damsels and dragons anyway. Quote
Guest bigbadbrent Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 i especially like them in distress Quote
SteveM Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 i especially like them in distress Tell the truth, Brent; you like damsels in distress, dat dress, but preferably no dress! Quote
