Body - Two layers of 11 Globrite floss
Overbody - Touching turns of pearl lurex (I dab a bit of varnish on the underbody first)
Body hackle - Black Cock.
Rib - Ex-fine oval silver tinsel or silver wire.
Head hackle - Black hen
Head - No 11 Globrite floss |
Very Nice Gander, I have the same flee, with just the #12 tail, on a B270 Double with Green JC Cheeks, works very well early season.
Also works well with the Mirage/Pearl tinted with an Orange Pantone pen, Along with Peach Hen Hackle and floss tail. Sort of a pearly peach palmer....
Ta for sharing.!
