Winter Solstice is over and we are turning to lighter days here in Norway.
These was taken on a trip a couple of weeks back, the sun was low in the sky and the colors was great
Month: December 2013
Tube: Red & Black #3
Variation from yesterdays red & black tube, this time with a extra black hackle in front of everything. What I’m particulary happy with: the thin finish of the head – previous attempts have ended up with too large heads
View from below: the black/red hackle combination makes it stand out nicely

Tube: Red & Black #2
Working over and over on a pattern is how I normally learn myself something new, these days it is this red/black tube that is getting worked on.
Bottom view: the red tag is not as tight as I would have wanted it to be tough: I need a different tube adapter

Front view: I like the proportions of this one and how it is built up
Tube: Red & Black
Another tube today where I went for a pure red & black pattern with silver wrapping on the body. I should have chosen a blank tube for this one since I think the orange on the tube crashed a bit with the rest of the fly.
The silver-tag is a bit messed up as you can see in the picture from below: the uni-french suddenly got on top of each other, but for a fishing fly it is ok.
The temple dog wing gives a nice profile, and I like the combination of red & black
Emerger – two-tone-body
Hook: Daiichi 1167 #12
Thread: Sheer 14/0 white
Tail: Sparkle Organza
Body: polishquills stripped peacock orange, Hareline Hare-Tron Pale Yellow
Wing: Whiting Bronze Brown, Wapsi polypropylene
A experiment in having a two-tone body on a emerger hook: it gives the impression of something in mid-hatch. Not very impressed with the hackle on this one – it got on top of eachother and it points up, but: for a something I’m fishing with this is of no big concern for me.
