There hasn't been too many flies coming off my vise of late, i've kinda frustrated myself out of tying classics for a while.

Nonetheless, I was compelled to tie this one for a bloke for his wedding.

Pretty simple fly.

The bridesmaids are wearing watermelon colored dresses, so i bought some watermelon dye and dyed up several different feathers etc.

Pattern is as follows
Hook Size 2 8xl
Tag Silver tinsel
Tail Watermelon Goose Shoulder
Body Black Wool
Rib Silver tinsel
Belly White Bucktail
Throat Henny Rooster (watermelon)
WIng While over watermelon saddle hackles
SHoulder Silver Pheasant
Cheeks Jungle Cock
Head Black

Enjoy.

Nice, eunan. I was wondering why I hadn't seen any posts from you in a while. Even if I don't always comment I always like checking out your flies
