All the fiddling and sorting of fly boxes. Regrouping and culling out the uglies. Pretty little rows of possibilities. How many fly boxes must a grown fly fisher have? If there such a thing as hoarding of fly boxes? I suspect there is for fly tying materials.
I have little left to tie. Some more wets, some little patterns with tufts of CDC, some Ants, some Damsels. I think I have tied about all I really need for the coming seasons. But, I have been feeling pretty energized tying of late and it has relieved a bit of the pent up life forces that have accumulated. So, I may continue to experiment and dabble for no charted purpose beyond the pleasure of creating and imagining the presentation and take.
Nice fly ! A couple of questions:
What is the body material (?) and is it only dubbing or also peacock herl at the thorax area?
I would really like to tie a few of those…
Thank you in advance !

Thank you. The body material is Krystal Flash strands (1-3 strands depending upon size of fly). Krystal Flash or a similar krinkly stranded material is makes a nice body.The Dubbing is strictly Ice Dub. Any flashy synthetic dubbing will do.
