Claret Bumble 2012

[Scratch]

Just starting to replenish stocks of a few standard patterns for next season. Not a great departure from the original, as the idea is to keep it pretty 'standard', I've just swapped the standard tail for 'O.P.', and the Jay for blue grizzle. Anyway, here's how the 2012 Claret Bumble looks....

Hook: B175 sizes 8,10,12 or 14.
Butt: Flat gold
Tail: GP Tippets dyed 'Orkney Peach'.
Rib: Oval gold
Body: Seals fir mix: Equal amounts of 'Ant Black' Black claret, and claret.
Body Hackle: Claret cock
Shoulder Hackle: Grizzle hen dyed 'Silver Doctor Blue'
Thread: UTC 70 den - 'Wine'.

Aye, deffo, Andy. I prefer the shade, it's a doddle whacking the stuff on, and it's softer/more mobile than Jay.

Top secret mate. Couldn't possibly comment.

i think you should have swapped the tail for an inch long strip of white minky and put a bead on the head
