Golden dabbler

[wingman]

Yes yet another one, i mean I still have to get this out my system and thought I'd try a slightly hotter colour scheme...ah well. Tied on a kamasan B175 size 10.

Thanks for looking and all comments welcome.


cheers

Cracker as per usual Mark
I tend to go for a slightly heavier cloak but that is my preference.

I'm not sure what my preference is yet Dabhoy, although on this one I adopted a slightly different cloaking method that gets the bronze mallard on in strips rather than an even effect which helps to show more of the orange hackle.

Dead link mate but I did watch Laurence tie a red a"^*e dabbler on his website a month or so back where he shows the cloaking technique quite well, mind you he uses much longer strips of BM than I do and its probably the traditional way of tying them.
