Brown Darter

Post by Johnno » Mon Jan 30, 2023 2:33 am

Little Brown Darter.
Hook is 3xl 16 to 10 of choice with a gunmetal bead to match the size. Orange thread, brown micro rubber tails and gunmetal flat wire rib over brown Turkey quill which has been put into a dubbing loop with a tiny pinch of fine tan Antron ( double magic dubbing technique - ). Thorax of natural hares ear mixed with a smidge of tan ice dub and finished off with a pink-brown cdc hackle

If it produces anything like this one, it's a winner.
