Flytyer Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 For the third challenge it should be interesting; mandatory materials are to be the feathers of 2 different species of bird. After that use anything else that you wish. Due date: Sun Dec. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pipes Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Here's my stab at this one. A modification to a similar pattern I use only I added some hackle for a wet fly presentation. You could weight this fly, but I chose not. Actually managed to use 4 different species. Materials: Hook: Your choice #12-18 (I chose a #14 Daiichi 1710) Thread: 8/0 dark brown Rib: Fine copper wire Tail and back: pheasant tail Abdomen: Turkey tail (I like to use the dark portion near the tip) Wingcase: pheasant tail Thorax: peacock herl Hackle: partidge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pipes Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Thanks for the comments. The picture is not the greatest (got to figure out the close ups better). I like the idea of these challenges. Hopefully, I can get a little more creative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pipes Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Nice work on the streamers. Lund, like the mallard flank, great idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lundvike Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Nice work on the streamers. Lund, like the mallard flank, great idea. Its a pattern from the fly tying bible and I just watched Leroy Hyatt tie a "Stayner Duck" which is identical except the color of chenille used, so hardly original. But thank you.
