Fly Tying: CDC & Cool Pic

Perusing the always fascinating PlanetTrout, when I came upon a blog at Foldis Fly. Found a very interesting pic showing the use of CDC on an emerger pattern. Nice shot.

Fly Tying: BWO Experiments (Not Quite…)

I am avoiding the upright wings of split hackle tips or mallard barbs. I am aware the silhouette of upright wings is often called for. Also, this was slightly lower grade cock hackle…not quite stiff enough. So, still happy with the wrapped abdomen of peacock herl quill. The tail also, needs stiffer barbs or fibbets. Almost there. Well, at least for my undisciplined self.
