This is a combo video of Cutcliffe's patterns 8 & 9. Straw Silk rib; Cow hair; Hare flax/water rat; rusty blues.
Pattern 8:
B: Fine cow hair
R: straw silk
H: dark rusty blue
Pattern 9:
B: 50/50 Hare flax (shaved), water rat (I use a mix of field mouse and pine squirrel)
R: straw silk
H: very rusty blue, inclining to a brown not a red
Determining exactly the hackle shades is difficult with just words and no pictures. I do my best and so should you. My guess is the fish are not as detailed as Mr. Cutcliffe.
Thanks!
