What is the jig hook you are using?
Barn Pool
White Caddis
They are a flipping hook made by Revenge Baits. Unfortunately the guy died. I really liked them because the sizes were more fly friendly. I think they went as low as 1/16th. Haven't been able to find a perfect replacement yet.
What size hook, looks great.
Dude I was just thinking of tying this kind of jig!
“The Hamlin”
A wet fly described in the book "Bodines; or Camping on the Lycoming" (1879).
The original recipe is described as: Black body, black hackle, white wing, long black tail with white tip.
In my version a little added modification is a jungle cock feather, tip and ribbing silver tinsel.
P.S. And little bit macro pron with head wrapping )

Zoran, I think it will be more easy for me and other tiers to understand what the fish food are in the hook)
Can you pls write recipes?

Are the wings maybe male Mallard secondaries?
