hello friends
Today i couldn't resist anymore and got few things from the bench, grabbed the vise and went to my little corner where i have my conditioned seat and wasted some feathers... Yes, it took several attempts til i got something that could be called a fly and not a flykenstain lol
This is not a spey, nor a dee, intruder or anything like that, it is a simple, humble, old fashioned Royal Coachman Wet tyed as per the illustraion on the book by Mary Orvis Marbury, with my own little tweak of course (i added the gold ribbing).
The hook is a Mustad 3116 #5 (similar to a modern size 8) with the eye cut off and tapered with a file. The wing is duck quill and i had to use silk for the head because i didn't hadred tying thread on my box.
Hope you like it and don't see too many flaws (no special lighting today, had to shot the picture with the sinple light i use for drawing)
and from the other side:
Cheers
Rob
