A Duckie for Ben

[mayflyjunky]

Seeing Bens excellent flies was the kick up the bum I needed to replenish the stocks and to add some new ones

This beauty is 2 seasons old and has a well deserved place in the box. Caught both well on Mask and Corrib last season. And the bows took a fancy to it in Sept and Oct



Tag: Mirage over red thread
Rib: Fine Mirage
Body: Heron Herl dyed picric over red thread
Thorax: Red seals fur
Wing buds: Jungle cock
Hackle: Melanistic Hen pheasant

The photo is not fantastic but you get the idea

Lovely... I like the herl body too

[benlikestofish]

Very nice mate. I like the body, fortunately I asked Sam last week for some picric heron so should have some soon!

I've done a few more and will try to add later.

Cheers
Ben

You know I think it is.

I would like to see how it performs across the water.

Cheers Guys

Wow fourteen of those specimen. I am going to have to call on securicor and or Chris Packham to look after them before they are despatched!

Great looking fly. A real killer I'd bet.
