Wilted Spinach

Posted at 10:47 am under fly tying

Wilted SpinachI saw this pattern being tied on a fly tying program on PBS yesterday. The tyer was going on about how effective a fly it is, so what the heck… will give it a whirl.

  • Thread: Red
  • Tail: Two strands of pearl Krystal Flash, each tied in a loop
  • Body: Equal parts of gold, blond, and orange Hareline dubbing. Blend, then dub.
  • Hackle: Grouse or partridge. Leave long enough to flow to about the middle of the Krystal Flash loops at the tail.
