Re: faux Honey Dun Flymph
I'm glad Scott joined the forum. He does a number of "step by steps" on the Washington flyfishing forum. I wish I had his patience and eye to detail when photographing the steps.
When I first saw his method of obtaining honey dun feathers my thoughts were...... now if he could only come up with Golden Plover.

I'll give a bit of a late welcome Scott.
Great post and photos. I have used markers before to adjust the color of hackle a bit. Not this particular brand. Will be interested to see how it holds up.
I think I recognize your name for other sites as well. I assume you are the same ScottP that post all the fine SBS' on Westfly.

I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.

Soaked the feather in warm, soapy water for a while, rinsed it off and the dye job seems to be intact. Whether it's officially waterproof or not, I think it'll hold up long enough.
Regards,
Scott

Only has to last until it catches something. Tree, submerged tree, rocks, oh, or a fish.
Welcome, Scott. I was reading thru your SBS's in the other group. Thank you very much for posting them.

First try using some sharptail body feathers. May have to work on the shade a bit (too orange?); don't have any of the real thing to judge it against
As a bonus, the aftershaft feather came out pretty neat; it'll find it's way onto some PMD flies.
Regards,
Scott

Re: faux Honey Dun Flymph
Somehow I missed this post earlier. Great tip Scott. I should add one of these markers to my travel tying kit. It's a good way to adjust a pattern, without the need to drag all my hackle along.
