Fly of the Week #5

This week, I've decided to upload a few images. I'm still playing around with the camera settings to get the best image quality possible. Unfortunately, I haven't quite got it figured out yet.

As always, you can click on the images to get a higher resolution version.


"Brown Mess #1 Soft Hackle" - Size 14

Golden stone dubbing with Hungarian Partridge (died brown) for the hackle. Brown thread holding it all together.


"Blue and Yellow Soft Hackle" - Size 14

Creme colored thread on the head ties down the partridge hackle. Yellow thread on the body holds both yellow and blue embroidery floss. The body has a light coating of "Hard as Nails" to give it some shine.


"Blue Soft Hackle" - Size 12

This one is simply thread and hackle. The unwaxed thread was not taken back very far to keep it minimal. Next time, I'd like to use even less hackle.
