Ginger and Opal

Post by Roadkill » Tue Aug 16, 2022 3:39 pm

This is my reaction to the idea of using a Ginger Hackle on PMDs that happened recently on another topic. :idea: 8-) I normally use dun or light partridge on those flies.

Hook-Dai Riki 070 #12
Thread-Kimono 100 Silk
Body- Opal Mirage Tinsel
Rib-tag of tying thread
Thorax- Light Hare's Ear Orvis Antron Hare dubbing
Tail and Hackle- Ginger Hen neck

I like it Bill. It has just enough Yellow to it. I could make that pattern work, from May until October, in every section of the water column. It is a very classy tie. Better yet, I know it is a fish magnet.

That’s a beaut! Love the silk rib over the Mylar body. Such a nice color combination overall.

Fishy in the best way… :D
