Dougsden Flymphs

Post by tie2fish » Thu Jan 05, 2012 9:13 am

Here are two more from the most recent batch of flies gifted to me by our friend Doug. They are both of the flymph persuasion, but I have no recipe details; perhaps the dresser will divulge his contents ;)

WOW! both are so gorgeous...........i envy you guys who can make a fishin' fly look so attractive. And these two are so different, yet both have mamximum appeal for fishing and just to look at. ;)

Doug, these are just fantastic. What are the swimming hooks you're using? I saw one of your swimming flies up close :D and really have to say they really have that quality that you just know it when you see it. Killer. These are great.

Bill - What color is the tail and hackle on the top fly? It almost looks like it is a dun hackle with a faint green tint to it. Is this caused by the background color? Thanks for sharing these with us.

Doug - If this is a pale green dun hackle, can you divulge your source? Gorgeous flies. Good thing I'm not a fish, or I'd be hooked already. :D

Ray - Looking at the fly under a bright light using a 10x glass, it looks as though the hackle is just a very light dun, and that the greenish tint is "bleeding over" from the body in the photo. The background is plain white posterboard that takes on a shaded appearance depending on where my light is located when that particular picture was taken and where I had the "brightness" set on the camera.
