Cahill

Post by Dwclapp » Thu Dec 26, 2013 1:35 pm

Not wingless but a fun tie... Wing is too long, Hackle is too long, head is too big, but the body dubbing was contributed by my beautiful little girl (half Beagle, Half Black and Tan Coon Hound) so that makes it a special fly.

That dog will hunt! ;)

Lovely fly and nicely photographed. The cahill flies have been a long time favorite of mine. My Dad and Grandfather used to fish these.

Very nice fishing fly, nothing wrong with it at all. You should do well with it. I like this pattern too. :D

Have caught many a trout in Wisconsin and Colorado with that Dark Cahill, hackle in front of wing. The dry version works well, too. Nice tie!

Very nice. I like the hackle fibered winged wets. Shhhhhh.....I have quite a few in my box.
I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.

Sounds like Sophia Loren… Every seemed to be out of proportion; nose, lips, eyes... but everything was beautiful.

Old/new hat, Howdy;

Think he was implying that individually the parts don't appear correct but
when assembled the package is outstanding.
