Quiz - second stage

[wingman]

Remember this is only open to those who got through from stage one. Below you will see a photo of a dry fly I just tied today, its loosely based on a blue dun. There are two questions to answer and all you have to do is get one of the two right to go through to the next round, you don't have to give both answers at once as you have until 6.00pm tomorrow after which time you cannot answer. You can change your answers as much as you like up until the finish time but your last answer before that time will count and none after that time will.
All those answering at least one question correctly will go through to the next stage.


1. What are the wings on the fly made out of?

2. What number pearsalls silk have I used on the fly, I want the number and not the name of the colour?



Good luck

cheers

By the way the silk is not waxed and has no varnish on it. What I have decided to do is allow you to change your answers up until 6.00pm tomorrow, (so if you want to do a U turn you can) but after 6.00pm whatever your last selection was will have to stand.

This has now been added in the above competition description.

2. What number pearsalls silk have I used on the fly, I want the number and not the name of the colour? Just the one thread I can see

Ok dabhoy let me clarify for you question 1 is asking what are the wings made of? ok slightly abbreviated but I want to know from what bird has the wing material that I have used for the wings on the fly come from? Comprendo amigo? Question 2 is asking what number pearsalls silk have I used to tie the fly with, each colour of pearsalls silk having a number or a number and a letter after the number which some colours have. So for example if you think the colour I have used is pearsalls blue then the number corresponding to this would be 7, so you would put 7 as the answer, still with me/ hope that helps.
