Not today but recently.
I called it a Doobry Variant on my website but on second thoughts I will not give it a name. Similar to "The Mans" flee but was tied long before he named his. Just goes to show there is not much new in tying. materials? granted
Flies? you are only limited by your own imagination.


Hook: 12-8
Thread: black
Tail: red floss doubled & cut flush
Body: gold flat tinsel ribbed wire fine gold wire
Body hackle: Silver Badger
Front Hackle: orange hen with black in front. One could use a black cock hackle to stiffen it up if one wished.

A bob fly for bright days with a bit of a wave. Nor perfect but proportion is good something that I feel is important in a fly.

Tip. Note how the wire rib intersects with the palmered hackle, this is good fly tying practice for adding longivity to the tinsel & hackle type.

Clan Chief, you are well in the groove my man

Tied a few of these today

[Clan Chief]

Tied a few of these yesterday. Picked up a great technique from the Ayrshire tyers vid,let me explain. the body is created by first tying in the bodyhackle first then use straggle fritz to secure the hackle and create the  body at the same time. I Probably didn't explain that very well. Probably best to watch his vid for better instruction
