An Olive Bloa

Post by tie2fish » Tue Mar 15, 2011 10:34 am

Not "the" olive bloa ... just one of a multitude of possible combinations.

Hook: Daiichi 1640, #16
Thread: Pearsall's Gossamer, primrose
Hackle: Marginal covert from French partridge wing
Body: Thoroughly waxed thread lightly dubbed with mix of dark hare's ear and olive green seal

This photo lost.
