Tube: Red & Black #2

dryfly.me.2013.12.21.tube_red_blackWorking 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

Tube: Red & Black

dryfly.me.2013.12.20.tube_red_blackAnother 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.

Emerger – two-tone-body

dryfly.me.2013.12.18.emergerHook: 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.
