Old meets new Sz 16 partridge and orange inspired nymph First time I used Semperfli Spyder thread. I love this thread, thin, plenty strong and lots of bite for mounting materials.
Hook Tmc200rbl
Tail/wingcase wood duck
Abdomen/head Semperfli Org Spyder thread 18/0
Overbody clear stretch tube
Thorax seal fur (my own blend)
Legs partridge.
I'll second what Ray said. Your seal dubbing blend reminds me some of Carl's recent "spectral" nymph.

Thanks Ray and Bill
The dubbing blend is a mixture of primarily brown, red, orange, yellow, black and olive. It's called for on an old Aussie nymph pattern I like to tie and use, very buggy and simple to tie once u work out how to tame/manage seals fur
Karsten, that's looks very attractive. Should grab lots of attention. Look forward to hearing from you about the results.
