Here's the most difficult fly I have tied to date. I had to modify the pattern a little bit, such as adding gray squirrel tail instead of partridge barbs for the legs. But you get the picture.

I will be testing it out this Sunday at RRSP, when BadKarma and I get together there. I will be sure to report back how it works.

An intimitading looking fly. Is there a recipe somewhere?

Thanks, Don

The recipe is below the last pic, highlighted in red. I substituted gray squirrel tail for the legs, I didn't have any partridge.

Thanks,

My apologies for the oversight.

Where did you find the thread for the gills and the body wrap? I haven't looked for those specifically, but don't recall ever seeing that type. It looks tasty to me, I hope the trout like it and you catch a lot.

DoveTail,

It looked like embroidery floss to me, so that's what I used. The floss has 6 individual strands, tie it in and split it into the individual strands. The body is floss too, I just used 2 or 3 strands instead of all 6 that it comes with. You can pick up the floss at any big box craft store, Hobby Lobby, Michael's, Joann's....I think Walmart carries it too.
