FLYMPH FORUM

I really like the Blue body John. I have to admit though, when I first read it, I imagined that I would see some options for the poor Mourning Dove who tried to fly through my office window this morning. The feathers seem like they would make a very nice soft hackle collar. He is currently in a Ziplock. I'll share some photos after the skin and feathers are cleaned.

That's a nice looking fly. What's the hackle?

WiFly,

Personally I prefer the Dove Dark chocolate with the red wrapper! Just don't know what the heck I'd tie with it. LOL... I'm a dark chocolate kinda guy. Blue flies are cool though. Nice work.

Very thoughtful, John. I once fished a blue wired spider very similar to yours a couple seasons ago with great results. It was very popular with the brown trout.
Starling hackle, squirrel thorax and no tail.

Thanks for sharing!
