I tied this fly in august 2013 according to recent photo dating methods. It took a while to get some play, but it was the one that took a fish this morning. I only switched flies about 6 times this morning.

This is amazing piece! What hackle did you used?

Good going! Every now and then I reach for some fly that was a twinkle several years ago when I was off on an inspired tying binge. The last that I remember I got a beauty of a fish with a black & blue with long wispy blue hackles like yours shown here. Mine didn't have such a beautiful wing though.

Nice

Great tie, Matt. I'm guessing that looks great wet and swingin'.

Obviously, the fish agree!!

good job matt!!!. home grown hackle??

 

[MZilliox]

It just hit a good cutty and another steelhead. i'm gonna have to tie more.

the rooster hackle is home grown on the body, the badger one. the blue hackle is Aaron's burnt goose spey hackle.
