Another Muddled Rusty Mayfly
Deer hair was supposed to come out brown but I got more of a rusty olive. A longer bath might have darkened it but I cooked the tips as it was; I’ll try less water, a slightly lower temperature and longer bath next time.
hook - WFC Model 6 #8
thread - Uni 8/0 fire orange
tail - bleached moose body hair
rib - Orvis Saltwater thread fluoro orange
body - deer hair dyed rusty olive (1 Tsp Rit Tangerine, 1 Tsp Rit Apple Green, 1/4 Tsp Rit Sunshine Orange/2 cups water)
wing - Congo Hair shiner tan
shoulder - hen badger dyed neon peach (2 Tsp Rit Golden Yellow, 1/8 Tsp Rit Coral/1 cup water)
collar/head - deer hair dyed rusty olive deer hair dyed rusty olive
Regards,
Scott

Thank you, but I didn't name it. It's been a well established pattern for many years

Life of the Party
In honor of my colonoscopy early tomorrow morning, a new fly:
mop top posse minnow, or shakedown street
Soundtrack:
Edits: rethinking a jokey homage to my all-time favorite Blazer; maybe not the right moment. Also, fly name already taken, damnit.
More edit: 6 doz for my wildest nephew’s upcoming expedition of discovery to Duck Valley. All redheads.
Do a little dance,
Make a little love,
Get down tonight.

Even though I saw a pack of black Squimpish fiber and a pack of black Nayat, I resisted the urge. Went with feathers for the ass end. Buuuut, I got a small pack of this new type of dubbing from NightmareMuskyFlies that's quite a bit courser than their Titan dub and nearly as long. I ended up mixing it with a little bit of Titan and hope to give it the swim test this weekend...a little 8"er
