Right, not quite a proper claret bumble (no Blue Jay left in my boxes
) but a variant I probably use more often anyway
This version has two turns light blue cock hackle and three turns of grouse at the head instead of the blue jay
I still need to learn how to take piccies of flies that come out half decently, but not too bad for all that.
This bumble has been tied on a size 14 l/s hook. Anyone care to guess what the fly tying vice is
It's
awesome
