FLYMPH FORUM

Played around with some dubbing blends today. This one I really liked. Stained vixen coyote underfur and hare's cheek 2:1. Has that tups-like look to it. Tied it with primrose silk and grizzly dyed dun.

Carl,
Great looking fly, really like that dubbing mix.

Great looking fly Carl!

Furry nice!

Beautiful!

Is the Primrose waxed. it has a slight mint shade to it on my screen?

Hi Carl,
This pattern is wickedly beautiful and so simple! The dubbing is such a wonderful lite pink blend! Your tying method is spot on as always which culminates in a pattern like no other! Thanks for creating it and sharing with us!

That is a gorgeous fly, Sir. Calling it sublime wouldn't be a stretch.

I must have the same computer as Roadkill, I get the same hint of yellow/green. ...I'm not not complaining, I'm just saying the fly reminds me of the Creamsicle's from my youth bookended with a touch of pistachio. Genius.

Mike - I love your description of the colors. An evocative description, that brings back happy memories. I smiled as I read it.

Hey, thanks guys for the comments. I appreciate it.

I goofed. I was mixing different materials and some how got fox stuck in my head. The dubbing is pink vixen coyote (not fox..I edited the original post) and hare's cheek.

I noticed the color of the thread too. I didn't wax the thread and I think the tone is coming from my lighting off the silk. that and the fact I had too shallow depth of field and the head is a little out of focus.

New/old Hat, Howdy;

Sounds like you were distracted, ... it happens.

Good that you realized it and set us straight.
A lot of different "stuff" on folk's minds right now.
Don't beat yerself up to awful much.

Lookin' forward to your next one.
