One for the middle

[weight_forward]

I've been playing around with variations of tinsel and seals fur bodied sparse palmers for the middle dropper, here's one of my favourites, the others have been claret or olive based.

Fulvous Palmer


Comments greatfully received - Steve

Is that your own dyeing ?

Very simplistic and very effective, nicely balanced fly

Excellent, loving the colour...

Superb Steve....the colour reminds me very much of what Gordon Fraser used to call Carnill ginger.

Yes it is, Golden Ochre i think, although would need to check to be sure. The seals fur is a blend of a few different brown / orange shades, golden ochre, aztec gold, golden yellow, pumpking orange and chestnut,why use 1 colour when you can use 5

Well, I'm calling it Fulvous at least it's a real colour and not something made up like Graffham grape or Blagdon black

Thanks for all the comments gents - Steve

I think that is my next big experiment Steve, the blending of furs.
Usually only mix two but I think there is a big scope for multi colours and using different materials, like antron and seal together.
Watch this space.
