Ha! Moose quill? Hells yeah, think I feel like stripping quills tonight? Hells no!
Tail: moose mane
Body: same 'quills' wrapped forward w/CCG
Wing: natural CDC tied in at tip, then make a small loop and tie again
Ginger hackle.
Body: moose & CCG
Wing: blk foam (body length or longer)
Ginger hackle.
* keep the body very slender and the foam wing long. Fish right up against the mossy rocks.
I liked the way this fly's tail came out. had me a late night session, any favorites? 99% of my flies are made on a whim, usually with few materials each. The fly above was made with a minimal amount of lemon wood duck, and a grizzly hackle. Sometimes my experimenting with few materials makes me use them in new or unexpected ways, it keeps it fun & creative. (or maybe that was the 6-pack of #9 last night)
