A peacock midge rocking some flash over the body and the thorax. A very simple pattern to tie up that should attract the trout, the only thing I could add to this is a layer of bug bond on the body.
Since it was Winter solstice yesterday: a yellow sunray shadow that I’ve named Sunray Solstice
I used UNI Floss for the body color on the tube, I don’t have a good enough adapter/needle so the tube gets deformed when I tie on the plastic: something for christmas maybe?
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
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
