William's Yarn

Post by chase creek » Wed Oct 17, 2012 10:19 am

Had to use some of the yarn so generously passed out to participants in the last swap.(Thanks, William) Used one strand of the Lion #403 dubbed lightly with Olive Possum. Little sloppy with the head, but I don't think the fish will care.
Hook - Not sure, was laying on the bench, looks like #12
Thread - Griffith 14/0 Grey
Body - One strand of Lion #403 Yarn, dubbed with Olive Possum
Hackle -Golden Olive Badger Hen

You are a wonderful source of new ideas for me, Rodger. First the double touch-dubbed loop and now this -- the concept of putting dubbing on yarn had never crossed my mind. Very cool indeed!

This wouldn't have occurred to me either. I've brought the tying thread back down the yarn body toward the bend and added a light dubbing to create a thorax that allows the yarn to show beneath....but nothing like this. Nicely done. I'm glad you like the yarn. I especially like that yarn as well. It works well using however many strands of the yarn you select and always has a general hares ear quality to it. Great post and a really nice looking fly.
