This one was working on the Avon this week.
Hook: TMC 200R #12
Thread: Gordon Griffiths 8/0
Tail: 3 black deer hairs
Rib: Pearl
Wing: White calf tail
Hackle: Cree

Start thread off and run half way down the hook, come back to wing position and tie in a small pinch of calf tail.


Cut and taper butts.


Build a thread bump to raise wing.


Run thread to barb and tie in tail.


Tie in rib.


Take a good pinch of Hare's mask from the cheeks, you want the light tan stuff.


Split thread and insert dubbing.


Spin to make a spiky dubbing rope.


Wind body to wing and rib.


Tie in hackle and put 3 turns before the wing and 2 turns after, whip finish.

tango,the photos are to big.

It's a new one, the old one had bits of the Liffey over the sensor.

Shame I only tied two of them and they were both given as offerings to the tree gods.

Can you remember which trees, I'll have a look when I'm back out on Wednesday or Thursday

Don't forget you're address for that thing I promised you.

Dubbing with a hares mask looks like its neat and tidy.

I must get one, any recomendations on where to buy one?

Trout, any shop that stocks fly tying materials will have them in.

Just had a message from my chief tester, the pattern is still working well.

Tango, you have a PM, thanks
