Blue Double for seatrout and salmon

Posted on by Håvard Eide

dryfly.me.2014.04.11.blue_doubleHook: Kamasan B280 #6
Thread: Sheer 14/0 Black
Tail: Dyed Golden Pheasant Tippets Orange
Tag: UTC French Tinsel
Body: Horns Soft Salmon Dub Kingfisher Blue
Rib: UTC French Tinsel
Wing: Brown & Blue templedog, silver flash
Sides: JC

This one started with the dubbing: I got some good kingfisher blue from Horns the other day and I built this fly around that color. The dubbing is great and I found some templedog that matched in color. I really tried to keep it down in number of materials and not have it super-big when it came to the wing. This one I will tie up in different variations before I even have fished it: one that I just “know” will work when it hit the water

 

Married Wings + Golden Pheasant

Posted on by Håvard Eide

dryfly.me.2013.10.02.red_salmonAdding more material to the Married Wings & Jungle Cock that I created earlier: this time with Golden Pheasant as tail, topping and side. Also added black ostrich in front of the tail.

Originally I had a 3-color wing, but the additional black just didn’t want to tie in, got to practice more on that. This is also first time I’m tying in a proper topping with golden pheasant, so that came out ok.

This is a part of my continious exploration towards the fully dressed salmon fly
