Re: Double Olive Flymph
This is a beautiful dressing- well done. I just got my first few boxes of Kamasan B175's and I think I these will be perfect for this fly. Thanks for sharing.

Re: Double Olive Flymph
Thanks, All for the positive comments.
John,
Ask Hans about dying with this stuff. he has used picric acid. Myself. if I really wanted a shade of yellow green, Tumeric works. As far as olive goes--good old RIT is safer. I've done some dying with Kool Aid and with food coloring, too. I've even tinted gray partridge feathers with a good solution of tea. Makes them brown partridge.
