I've been in a bit of a fly tying funk....tying dumb little egg flies and all. I had to get out of it....I hope I did.

Mostly snowrunner and titan dub plus some waterproof markers, a touch of flash and a several saddle hackles (2 on each side)....all reverse tied hollow fly style.

Cheers!
Very tight and clean. Nice fly!

Four months until tailwater season; since I’m not in the mood to tie all the bead-head nymphs I’ll need, I figured some dries were in order. Saw a variation of a similar fly with an underbody of dyed peacock herl; the Ice Dub provides a similar effect but with the tightly wound hackles it’s pretty much lost here.

hook - WFC Model 3 #18
thread - Danville 6/0 rusty brown
underbody - Ice Dub Harder’s Bloody Black
hackle(s) - dun/brown/grizzly

Scott
