Fusion Olive - the Old meets the New

[jindra]

The pale mayflies of summer will soon replace the Mayfly and for that time in none too distant future I propose the following imitation:



The body is Pearsall's Primrose silk thread, well waxed and lightly dubbed with Mole fur (= the old)
The tail is Coq de León and the wing is Cul de Canard (= the new)

Cheers!

well, it is not this season's invention, so I might have overstated a bit, but never the less it is a couple hundred years younger material than mole & silk body

A lovely dressing jindra; your juxtaposing ancient v modern use material not lost on quite all.

Any reason for the León tail? I think ordinary Andalusian (old?) whisks would work well.

To be honest - in the rest of the world - they are all called 'mayflies'.

Jindra's pattern a great olive/pale watery dun imitation.

not in america, canada, new zeland.. etc
if it was, then it should be made clear that there not so it doesnt carry on.
if everyone calls them mayflies the newcomers will pick it up and think thats what there called. which clearly they should be stated by there names
so you know how to match that specific dun to benefit the fishing
like your member name is the true name of the blue winged olive dun,
i wouldnt reply to you as mayfly
because your not!
or should we call you mayfly
