FLYMPH FORUM

After seeing Carl's PMD triptych I thought I'd have a crack at tying a few.

PMD that almost breaks the wet fly rules

Hook Hanak H 130 BL #16
Thread Sheer 14/0 in a primrose
Hackle Light Dun Hen
Tails Coq De Leon 4 Fibres Split tail
Abdomen Fly Rite #41 Pale Olive
Thorax Fly Rite #10 Blue Wing Olive (Don't tell the pale morning Duns)





Hends Quill Body PMD

Hook Varivas 2200BL 16#
Thread Sheer 14/0 in a primrose
Hackle Light Dun Hen
Schuck wisp of Fly Rite #41 Pale Olive dubbing
Abdomen Hends Body Quill BQ-11 wrapped from tie in point behind hackle to schuck in touching turns, then spun in a cord and wrapped over abdomen back to the tie point in more open turns.
Thorax own dubbing blend of tan cdc, olive cdc and orange antron

I was going to say those were exquisite, but didn't know how to spell it. I guess stunning will have to do.

Lovely stuff, Karsten.

Thanks Karsten, more great inspiration in colour, form and use of the Hends quill material. I am going to have to go check the stocks for appropriate colour shades.

Fly #2 definitely put Hends on my radar this morning...that would be a killer emerger.

Karsten, you nailed our local PMD color with the Hends Quill Body PMD. Very tantalizing pattern.

Thanks guys, I'm glad you like them, I do love using the body quill material.
Great to hear from you Bill

Jeff- I'd love to see the flies you tie when you find your Hends stash. It would be great if you could put up a post...

Carl- that's good to know, now I know one of the colours I'll be sending you.

Karsten, had a look through what I have and discovered a lot of it is their tinsel line not so much body-quill. What quill I do have does not really suit PMD colouration. I will keep looking.
