Touche

Post by Old Hat » Mon Feb 07, 2011 12:15 am

A very simple and productive stillwater pattern. I normally tie these a little on the big side...#10-#14. I am only guessing, but probably a damsel or dragonfly nymph is what the fish sees it
as.

Hook: Ken Sawada Old Limerick Wet #12
Thread: Black or Dark Brown
Tail: tips of peacock sword
Rib: silver braid
Body: Peacock sword
Hackle: Brown hen saddle
I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.

Super effect.

Very sharp fly. The bigger sizes might make a good Steelhead fly

I love using peacock sword fibers as a material. This gives me another very strong reason to use it again. Beautiful fly Carl.
