Backward Tup Fly

Post by Mataura mayfly » Tue Dec 11, 2012 4:56 pm

There has been a lot of chat on the Tup's Indispensible, it's materials and dubbing blends lately....... so...... I decided to tie a back to front one.

Hook: Kamasan B175 #8
Working Thread: Pink Sylko sewing thread
Hackle: Medium blue-dun
Tail: Honey badger barbs
Abdomen: Three strands of embroidery floss, pink
Thorax: Food colouring dyed natural wool
Head: Working thread, three turn whip finish and clear varnish.

Don't your toilets flush in the opposite direction as well? ;)

Creative, out of the box and a fine tie.
I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.

Mm

In a smaller size that would make a decent Pink Lady fly. A comercial tyer I know used hair from his wife's Champagne Poodle for his personal PL fly dubbing. ;) Would probably work well on a Tups! ;)
