Green Quill

[jindra]

A peacock quill dyed Olive produces some interesting body segmentation - plus an element of satisfaction, since I stripped and dyed the quill myself



The tye:
#16 Hanák 130BL hook
Coq de León tails
homemade olive quill
2 plumes of CDC
homemade rough hare dubbing for thorax, lightly teased out to suggest legs.



Cheers!

very nice mate, a little short in the body for me but nicely tied

Nice little ties Jindra

Thanks, gentlemen
The body lenght is about what I had in mind when tying, now only if the half turn of thread at tie in of the quill did not show up so badly. Aaargh...

Cheers!

Nice flies jindra,I tye a similar fly myself mate.the half turn of thread looks better if you use yellow thread on the olive quills looks more natural.Craig.
