albannachxcuileag Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I thought after all the 'absurdities' that I have helped promote recently in the Lurid Lure Swap that it was time to get back to basics so here is a nearly 'real' fly! Hook - Captain Hamilton International MW size 12 Thread - Olive UTC Shuck - Ginger Z- lon Abdomen - 60% Olive, 20%Fiery Brown and 20% Machair Claret seal's fur Legs - either Chocolate Brown Hen or Brown Partridge hackle Wing - 2 Natural Dark Brown CDC plumes When tying in the Z-lon - straggle the lengths a bit to give a better appearance to the shuck as a straight cut look does not do the business. Tie the CDC forwards and then pull back and secure with a couple of turns of thread before finishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
