Thanks. It’s Loon UV Thin; never tried it as body coat on a hairwing before so we’ll find out next spring. Can’t imagine it’ll make too much difference; the moose tail and deer wing should keep it up on top.How does the resin body float? Never tried one for a dry. Also what resin do you use
Beautiful flies
Juicy.

APPRECIATEBeautiful flies
You have some nice even mallard which is essential to get them to look that good
Well done
I like the overall profile, with the tail hackle flared out, the Mearns down a bit, and then the caribou flared out.Shrimpy Quail Muddler
Giving some lesser-used feathers a shot; was hoping the thorax would prop up the Mearns shoulder but that didn’t happen
hook - WFC Model 6 #10
thread - Uni 6/0 rusty brown
tail - bobwhite quail body feather
rib - small wire black
body - Krystal Flash root beer/resin
thorax - Ice Dub pheasant tail
shoulder - Mearns quail body feather
collar/head - caribou
Regards,
Scott
Might be an odd mix but I bet it fishes! I have this peacock obsession right now, peacock with rooster - peacock with mallard - peacock with breakfast!@Divad was nice enough to send me some FNF "Jelly" (not to be confused with "Slush Jelly") in "pellet" (is that color or flavor?). He included a couple of peacock breast feathers. I was looking at the pellet (flavored, colored) Jelly and the breast feathers wondering if the two could be used together. I tied dyed olive pine squirrel zonker on for a tail, wound some pellet Jelly up and tied on one peacock breast feather for hackle. Wetted, I think it looks pretty fishy.
