Prickman's Fly

No comments yet

Continuing with the flies in Roger Woolley's section on West Country and Devon Wet flies with Prickman's Fly.

Hook: 0 or 1 so size 14 is about right.
Body: Dark quill - not sure here what he wants. Stripped peacock quills he has so far stated "peacock" so when he omits that word I am unsure if it is stripped cock stems, "condor" quill or subs...or other.
Hackle and whisks: sooty olive. Not sure is this is a dun leaning olive or truly a "dirty" olive dyed cape.

If you know of any history or other reference to this pattern let me know!

Enjoy!

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
