First time tying with Spey Hackle

Hook: Partridge Adlington & Hutchinson Blind Eye #4/0
Thread: Sheer 14/0
Body: The Fly Co Seals Fur
Rib: UNI-Mylar 1/16″ Silver, UNI-Frensh Oval Silver
Hackle: Whiting Spey Brown
Wing: Veniard Mallard Duck Bronze Shoulder Large

Got some spey hackle from whiting today and had to give it a testrun. This is the first time I have worked with spey hackle, and it takes some getting used to. I really like the spey style flies and will tie up more of these to get used to using the spey hackle in different situations.

Body: Sripped Peacock Eye Quill Orange
Thorax: Hends Superfine black

I tend to tie up a lot of flies with a lot of material to make them more vibrant and visible. Trying to tie up some leaner flies and this one should be a good addition to my BL box.

Need to fill up a BL box for myself, starting august by tying up some of these parachutes on a TMC 100BL #16 that was very successful up north this summer.

A couple of really, really small flies here: on the TMC #32 these are some of the smallest hooks you can get now. The problem is not tying it on, the problem is actually getting the hackle small enough for this size!

Hackle: Whiting Bronze

It has been a busy summer with a lot of fishing, this particular midge in size #18 got me a 850gram grayling up north, so I need to get some more, but in even smaller size. Easy to tie up (as long as you have small enough hackle) and the fish will hunt this down!
