As simple as this fly looks, I tied it 3 times to get it right. The duck quills I have are just crap to work with. I ended up using wing primary feather quills from a matched pair of Eurasian Jay. A nice light slate color.

Just an observation..., but I'd love to see your version of 'crap' and the first two attempts. My guess is, they were spectacular. It may be a 'simple' fly to you, but to my eye, it borders on the sublime. Nicely done, Norm. Nicely done.

well I do muck things up at times. one bump of the bobbin holder and it all comes apart

I’ve tied that exact same fly! Many times!

Norm,
I'm glad this happens to other folks other than me! A sheer disaster but, kinda comical too! We know that you regroup and recoup with the best of them! Keep them coming sir!
