This is most likely one of the very first flies I ever tied. I have really tried to groom it, but honestly: the hackle is a mess and all too long, there's tying thread on the outside of the body and the head is varnished with silver flake nail varnish. Yuck!

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.
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.
