FLYMPH FORUM

I'm thinkin' some Preperation-H instead of wax for this one?

Sorry, couldn't help it.

When I showed the name of this fly to my wife, she said I was "juvenile". I'm taking it as a compliment. Not everyday that someone my age gets called "juvenile".


I'm curious as to the length of that dubbing brush, though--the dubbing would cover, what, maybe 3/4th's of inch of the thread?

Jon (CreationBear) - The silk dubbing brush was about two inches long. I used between 3/4" to 1" to dub the body. The rest ended up getting trimmed off after the body was wrapped.

Ruard - I think the Danish word is "hæmorider"

Excellent, it's a great touch.

Ray, i take it you thanked you wife for such a fine complment? She should get a kiss for that.

lol

Sorry Ray My nattive spreaking language is Dutch and Danish is quite a different language.

I searched for the hemorrhoidal on google and found the Dutch word: aambeien and now I understand the if this thread

Greeting

One of my more colorful soft hackles...

One of my most productive flies is my version variation of the Red Ass soft hackle, tied with a red thread butt, peacock herl body with a gold wire rib and a partridge hackle. Using a lime green thread instead of the red, makes my version of an Egg Laying Caddis soft hackle. GREAT when fished in tandem with each other.
