Hustler Flymph

Can't remember if I've already posted this one or not, but if I have, forgive me, I'm claiming dementia. This one is working good over western march brown, & also spotted sedge.

Thank you sir. Also a utilitarian beauty. The Hustler is a reliable bait.

Is the Brahma hen dyed, or natural? I’m guessing it is dyed.

Superbly fishable art. Very well done.

Thanks for sharing.

Another beauty, so very well dressed. Really nice to see your flies gracing these pages again.

Thanks Ray. The hackle is natural welsumer brahma hen. Not dyed. What I love about the welsumer is that the barring is so distinct, & the brown coloration has a translucent glow. Order some chicks in the spring & by late fall you'll have it. Down to a partial cape so considering raising a few next season. If I do I'll save you one.

Thanks Ron. I've never really gone away. I'm like the plague, disappearing for awhile, then erupting again. :twisted:

That explains why your flies are so “contagious”…. (twisted humor) :lol: ;)

Uh, Steve, save one for Ray and one for me please. UC Steve's Hackle Farm. :twisted:

As an aside, I just tried finding Welsummer hens for sale near me and they are scarcer than the proverbial hens teeth this time of year.

Call Alvin Theriault, he may have something close; god knows he grows some strange stuff (by strange, I mean really cool).

Gorgeous pattern Steve!
