Hackle/Legs - overcovert from Golden Plover. These feathers are hard to get. Not really much in the way of great subs with "yellow tips" but this basic pattern with another game hackle will be an effective fly.
I did not use wax. That is a personal preference. I have seen this pattern where "cobbler's wax" is used to darken the silk color. That is again up to you.
Enjoy and Fish on!

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.
