The Pink Lady

The ingredients:

Vintage Mustad 94842 size 12
Double slip mallard wings
Pink floss body
Silver tinsel
Hebert Miner Medium Ginger cape
Veevus 16/0 tan thread

March Brown

Tied another Catskill dry fly this evening, the March Brown.
I used a vintage Mustad 94842 hook this time. The hook shank is maybe slightly on the shorter side compared to the Mustad 94840 but I really like the up eye of the 94842.

Hook: Mustad 94842, size 12

Thread: Veevus 16/0, color tan
Wings: Wooduck flank feathers

Body:  Tan colored fox dubbing

Hackle: Hebert Miner grizzly & Collins brown mixed

Update 15 Jan 2022:

The Catskill Fly Tyers Guild made a video about the history of the guild. All the sudden I recognised my March Brown (around 12:57)!

Adams (Catskill style) again

The ingredients:

I posted a similar post back in 2015.

Silver Doctor

A fine full dressed salmon fly is a work of art, but is also looked at with fear.
Here's a tutorial how to tie a Silver Doctor that takes it as easy as it can get.
