Claret Bumble Variant

[benlikestofish]

Instead of the usual black tied together with claret for an original Claret Bumble I've used a new Black Claret cape from Saracen, its a Natural Black over dyed claret. I think it produces a lovely looking fly which has a lovely blend of warm clarets. Can't wait to try





Hook: Size 10 Hayabusa 761
Thread: Black RM 10/0
Tag: Mirage over Red Holo
Tail: GP Tippets dyed Scarlet
Rib: Fine Silver Wire and Med Mirage
Dubbing: Rod Tye Classic Claret
Hackles: Claret and Black Claret (Saracen)
Front Hackle: Blue Jay
Cheeks: JC dyed Yellow

Cheers

Thanks Ben. I was wondering what the ribs were

Hi Ben

Nice tying

I see your're using Mirage, do you find it decidedly better to use rather than Pear tinsel or do find the effect roughly the same?
