Iron Blue Dun V.
Posted: Thu Dec 17, 2009 8:44 pm
Hi all - Testing my picture posting abilities. If all goes well you should be looking at my Iron Blue Dun variation. I'm easy going...likes and dislikes always welcome.
This fly has really produced for me all year round, for a couple years now, since I started tying it. I do enjoy tying the traditional patterns mostly, but also enjoy tweaking them a bit here and there.
Hook: Ken Sawada Old Limerick Wet
Thread: Black Griffiths 14/0
Tail: Heron herl tips (or substitute)
Butt: Metallic red embroidery floss
Rib: X-fine silver braid
Body: Heron herl (or substitute)
Hackle: Dark dun hen
