A soft hackle with Ginger Partridge (Thanks Ray!), Claret Gossamer silk and Pine Marten fur in split thread.
And a bonus (after some frustration). Tied on size 22. Capercaillie (Wood Grouse) Neck hackle and Claret silk. The photo a bit dark but I wanted you to see the black and white stripes on the hackle. This hackle is quite stiff but not as stiff as genetic cock.
Cheers
Martin

Very nicely done Martin. I really like all your creations, very fishy!
Size 22?!? Can a fish see a size 22?!?

Martin, these are really spot on. Just a beautiful pair. The body work on that first fly is what draws me to these flies over and over. Great shots too.

Stendalen, Howdy;
Martin, I first viewed these earlier in the day.
I have yet to find words capable of conveying how I feel about these flys.
Indescribably well done !

Very creative dressings and marvelous photography to set them off.
