FLYMPH FORUM

A bit skimpy on dubbing in the thorax area, but the hackle is too delicate (read: "breaks too easily") to do it over this morning ...

Found Feather Flymph
Hook: Gamakatsu that I'm pretty sure came from willowhead
Thread: Sheer 14/0, tan
Hackle: From a "sparrow" of some sort (thanks to Dougsden)
Tag/Rib: X-fine braided gold tinsel
Body: Muskox underfur in dubbing loop

Great colours. And the hackle is really fancy...!

Muskox, what is that?

Like the fly but now there is going to be a run on Muskox hides for flytying.

Awesome materials, I think they pair very well with each other.
Really digging that hackle. Are sparrow feathers allowed to be had in possession?

No need to buy a hide: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qiviut Bill

There is no season on Sparrow, Starling or Pigeons..You can shoot as many as you like as often as you like here in Colorado.

That is just too cool! Is it possible to get hold of that stuff? "Trappern" maybe DD?
