The only single material fly I've caught on is the Red Copper Wire, it's so simple it would seem like a con swapping it for something spun out of CDC or deer hair. Not even thread required!

I could also do many flavours of Blob, omitting the lead and tail but that might be stretching the idea of 'minimalist' a bit.

Il have a go J, what would be the ruling against using the same material but in a different colour? E.g two tone blobs?

[maharg]

A couple of ideas,
partridge and orange spider,
Stewarts black spider,
Spanflex blood worm,
Ollie Kites bare hook nymph
When all else fails

does that count if i take out the wee pinch of pine squirrel where i bind it down?

[tack4]

hmm......thinking cap is on



only thread, hook and one material.

there could be several ways to use one material on the same fly


put me down
