Green Highlander with a twist

dryfly.me.2015.10.25.green

Here is a GH I did this morning (on a Mustad 80500BL #2/0: http://flyhooks.org/mustad/80500bl ), but with a twist: I used polar bear in the wing instead of the normal married wings. I did some small GH earlier this year with PB, but not following the pattern as strict. I wanted to have a fly that would be easy to tie, didn’t take too much time, and at the same time gave me that composition of colours and flare that a fully dressed GH have. Going to tie up some more of this in different sizes (from #1 to #5/0)

Small Green Highlanders

Two small GH today: one on Kamasan B280 #10 and one on Partridge Patriot #8, both of them with a 3cm wing. These are for a trip up north with a friend, and I got the challenge to tie these small ones for the river there. Think I will go for the Kamasan #10 for the rest of the batch, but I might take with me some on the Partridge hook as well, we’ll see.

Intruders

The reports from out west is that there is a lot of water in the rivers, so I thought I’d tie up some intruder-style to bring with me in case I need something bigger than small tubes and doubles. All of these are on 25mm waddington shanks with #4 Partridge hooks
