Scott,

I think of Datus Proper's bent hackle pattern when I look at this fly. Impeccable tying, as always. Good stuff, my friend. ;)

That's well put. A gorgeous jingle and a killer lion fish. Very interesting and probably something to watch. Looking forward to a report.

ScottP. Howdy;

Impressive, ... to say the least! :shock:

Question;
When yo stated in the recipe "front hackle - Indian Hen (reverse tied)"
Does this mean that you applied it rotating in the reverse of the previous 2 ?
Thanks for your thoughts.

Hank,

I just tied the front hackle with the dull side facing forward (should have explained that).

Regards,
Scott

Sort of a bivisible skater, Scott. Very nicely conceived and superbly tied.

Scott P. Howdy;

Thanks for that information. Sort of explains the why of the forward pitch
of the front hackle. Now this one would make an excellent SBS (hint hint).

Great fly! 8-) It reminded me of a variation of a French Feather Duster like the Tricolore.

The more I study this fly, the more I keep imagining it on the water. This has to give a great impression on the surface of the water. The soft hackle fibers would likely sink below the surface giving the impression of struggling legs.

I gotta add some of these "damp" flies to my spring box.
