Re: Smolder
Now there is a tie with fish attracting properties to spare.
Nice colour in the body and dubbing selection, but really like the contrast in the hackle and the soft fluffyness in the flume of the barbs.
Very nice Sir.

Hans, Howdy;
That's one of the best looking flys I've seen so far ... did you use a darker
thread for the split thread segment ? I ask as it apperars so ...
Wait till DUBBIN sees this his taste for Muskrat will explode...
hopefully in a safe and contained enviroment ...
