March Dun
Hook - Mustad 3399 or equivalent
Thread - Black
Tag - Flat gold tinsel
Body - Medium green wool, picked out
Wing - Light slate
Trout - Ray Bergman
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.
Flytiers sure have a way at making things difficult

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.

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!
