Dean's Black

Post by Old Hat » Sun Mar 06, 2011 12:41 am

Here's another one from the "Addict". I had never tied this fly before, but I really like the pattern.

Hook: 1x long nymph hook
Thread: black
Body: 2/3's peacock heavy, 1/3 black wool or fur ( used angora wool)
Rib: heavy silver wire
Hackle: Partridge dyed iron blue dun

I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.

Beautiful rendition, Carl -- another one of your seemingly endless supply of classically dressed flies.

Carl - That looks like a "capital killer"! I am definitely going to add some of these to by fly box. Wonderful fly.

"Juicy, junior....real juicy" . The fly is really nice and plump. Looks like a juicy bit.

anyone know the quote?

Carl,

Dean's Black.....I remember it from the "Addict". There are alot of good patterns listed in that classic book and it seems you have discovered them too! I think you did (and do) a terrific job on this one. Sly would definately approve! Are there others you have tried?
