#188 Honeysweet - David Mac #188 Honeysweet - David Mac

Tied by: David Mac
Originated by: David Mac

Hook: Martinek Carrie Stevens hook #1 10X Long
Thread: Black
Body: Silver Mylar tinsel, size 10
Rib: Oval silver tinsel, size small
Throat: Pale yellow hackle
Belly: Peacock blue bucktail
Wing: Two yellow olive saddles, topped with two pale yellow saddles,
Shoulder: White turkey flat
Cheek: 2 blue peacock breast feathers each side
Eyes: Jungle cock

Notes: The contrast between the deep greens and blues of the peacock and the pale watery yellow hackles really gives this streamer a fresh summer feeling. It reminds one of cold melons, and a crisp spring fed streamer where it could be cast to the noses of big lethargic brown trout. It was created on a commission for Mr. Charles Sweet of Vermont in June 1997.

Long story short

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

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.
