albannachxcuileag Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Messing around and seeing what happens to things. Just for a change I did not bother to remove the stubs of the deer hair but just trim them into a collar to create some surface disturbance. Should have pulled out those two long hairs! Hook, Thread, Hackle - as simple as it gets. 1 minute buzzer from 2 types of flashabou, Lime Green and Pearl, still to varnish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hydropsyche Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Me too. I also like the Hackle Hack. Whats that? A size 28? Where do you get hackle that small? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albannachxcuileag Posted December 11, 2007 Author Share Posted December 11, 2007 Hydropsyche, it is a Griffith Gnat without the peacock herl. The hook is a VMC size 20 UK size - about 5mm long, the hackle is from a Whiting Grizzly Bugger pack. I have found that they chuck in a section of saddle or neck with some extremely nice hackles to make up the bulk, I bought a few of these in different colours and most of them have high quality dry hackles included along with the monsters! The top fly with the olive deer hair has a body made with Pearsal's original mid olive silk, I have a few spools of different Pearsal's that I inherited from an old fisherman that are no longer available these days. I added a couple of strands of Tan coloured Wapsi Enhancer Hank to perk it up a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
