BLACK MARABOU BROOKIE
HOOK Ken Baker #6
THREAD Orange for body, black for head
UNDERBODY Burnt Orange floss
TAIL Black and white hackle fibres
BODY Any cream colored dubbing (I used dog)
RIB Medium tinsel
THROAT Same as tail
WING Black marabou, ala "White Marabou" fly
TOPPING Peacock Swords
CHEEKS Jungle Cock

David's Tying Instructions

1) Start orange thread behind eye
2) Wind down to hook bend, attach tail and rib.
3) Create dubbing loop for body, but do not dub yet.
4) Bring thread back up to starting point, tie in floss.
5) Wind down and back
6) Loosely dub body with loop - the inttention is for the orange floss to show through the cream dubbing when the fly is wet.
7) Wind rib
8) Trim body if necessary
9) Attach throat, wing, topping and cheeks in usual manner.

The dubbing I used really turns transluscent when it's wet, hopefully letting the orange floss sort of "glow".

Once in a Blue Moon

After having seen and loved the latest year's large crop of "grunge" movies, it's a blessing to see something, which holds the flag of visual aesthetics high, and uses both editing, sound and commentary to keep you glued to the seat, not because you're afraid to fall off, but because you're spellbound.

Feeding Time

"...featuring some of the most creative and innovative flyfishing footage ever assembled. Nothing like this has ever been attempted in the flyfishing industry". Personally I'd be very careful writing something like that, especially in an era where one stunning DVD after the other hits the shelves.
