FLYMPH FORUM

This is tied on a size 14 Mustad 7957BX hook; tail and hackle are sharptail grouse, body is muskrat, thread is Benecchi 12/0 in grey.

Very nice John,

Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
Hans W

Can't go wrong there John. Sharptail has some great feathers that can make a good woodcock sub.

You are going to have to test that one out, if you haven't already John. That looks quite impressive. Great tie.

That fly will hunt! Beautiful fly John.

I like that.
Nice barring in the hackle and it should work well for you.

Thanks for the kind words. I photographed this indoors and I see I am getting the orange cast again. I checked the AWB on my camera and it is set on auto. I had planned also to photograph this outdoors, but have not got around to it yet. I plan to go fishing tomorrow and want to test this and a few other flies out.

John, I like the fly very much. I see what you mean about the cast. I would of never known it had gray thread, if I hadn't of read the recipe. You used great materials, and that fly will catch you some fish, no doubt about it!

Thanks Kelly. Yes, it is definitely much grayer in person (kind of like me).
