This is number 4 - Hare Flax Turmeric, Rabbit Flax, Water Rat; Smoky Blue

Body: Equal parts Hare flax dyed turmeric, Rabbit flax, and Water rat.  For the water rat, I substitute field mouse fur blend with spikey hair from a pine squirrel.  The gathering of the flax from the rabbit and the hare skin is by "shaving".  I have a video on how to do this.
Rib: straw-colored silk.  I use a buttonhole twist.
Hackle: smoky blue.  I use a Cuello feather from Gallo de Leon.  The feathers have the sheen and the taper that Cutcliffe appreciated.

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.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher has recently been updated to a new publishing system, and there may be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
