Dry Fly Boxes

My stocks for the start of the season are getting there, amongst a few examples for the clips at the Swedish Fly Fair ~ not long now.

A few 'biggies' for New Zealand style as an alternative to the Hi-Vis Caddis:

...and a few CDC duns & emergers:

I've been tying a few klinks the last couple of nights using the technique you demonstrated at the fly fair this year where you dub the body down from the thorax then twist the thread at the bottom and wind back up in open turns to create a rib.

It looks a real winner and I believe it could be a 'trigger point' as you suggested.

What dubbing have you used for the orange bodied flies?

Dave Wiltshire said...: Thanks folks.

Mick: the dubbing is Orvis Spectrablend (Ginger). Have you tried this out yet? If not, I highly recommend it. If I was limited to just one synthetic, it would be this.
