See what you missed. That was about the only class I enjoyed.

Thanks. You can't order them though they are just for comparison. I have the color card #2 here but have not been able to find #1. Their photo colors are a little saturated on the website.

Always the smooth talker Doug. Love it and always appreciate your comments. I used to tie quite a bit with quill before I found flymphs. I was a Shane Stalcup fan. He has some great patterns with quill and biot.

Its not exact. 50/50 pink and yellow mohair wool with a small amount of hare's cheek added. The mohair is hard to mix fluidly so some flies will be a little more yellow and some a little more pink. But yes, when you mix pink and yellow you will get orange. Basic color wheel. No loop wing. All water ...

Really nice post John. I'm waiting for a couple colors of Kimono in the mail. Should be here any day and then I'll get a comparison out for those as well.

Carl that is spectacular. Can you please comment on the dressing.

Tom

The dressing is Hidy's tups blend. Pink and Yellow wool with a pinch of hare's cheek. I use mohair wool. Tied with primrose silk and this fly uses a blue dun hackle. I actually prefer a light rusty dun or honey dun hackle.

Love it when a plan comes together.

John, Any chance you could post a list of YLI silk numbers (color names) as they correspond to the list of silk numbers (color names) for Pearsall's Gossamer? Thanks- Ken This is Rob Smith's information YLI No. - Vintage Color & (Pearsall No.)- YLI Color 216 = Hot Orange (19) – Bright Orange 231 = ...

Yeah, not cree.
All are variants.

For description purposes.

Barred Honey Dun. - I would be happy to take off your hands.
Grizzly and ginger variant
I'm OK with a dark barred ginger

I agree with Golden Badger. Although, not bad for a Greenwell's.
