Doing a Pale Morning flymph. Sometimes imitation is not the sincerest form of flattery.

“Pale Morning Dun”

Hook. ...... Mustad 94842. Sz 14
Thread. ..... Pearsall’s primrose
Tail. ..... Honey dun rooster
Body. .... Cream from a red fox
Hackle. .... Whiting honey dun hen

Sometimes imitation is not the sincerest form of flattery.

In this case, I say it is. Well done.

Thanks fishnkilts but not when one is copying an “Old Hat” fly. He has such a great
eye and touch and his flies show it.

Deadly pattern, nicely tied. One of my all-time favorites!

Mustad 94842 and 94863, in sizes 12-14-16.
Also like some old Partridge up eye round bend hooks I came across some years back. Edgar Sealy made a model 1034 up eye, I think.......have to check when I get home.

I'm undecided. Perhaps you and Carl should each send me a dozen flies for comparison... (homor)

Wonderful PMD imitation.

Thanks letumgo !
