Nice colour combination; looks great.

James Laraway · 12/07/2023 at 19:22

Very tasty. I think I'll copy that and do some variants.,

Steven Kidd · 12/07/2023 at 19:25

Go for it James,

I need to figure how to tie that body floss a bit slimmer and neater, feel free to share your version,

And come on Robert show us how it should be done!

I used a 50/50 blend of globrite 7 and 8 to make this peach floss. I did try to split some out to wind for the body but it tangled badly, so I ripped it up for make a dubbing.

The body hackle in a genetic hen I dyed Orkney Peah last weekend.

Looks great

Tail Peach baby doll wool.
Body Peach wool as for tail, over wrapped with opal mirage tinsel. The underbody should shine through.
Rib Gold wire
Hackle Ginger cock

This one has been a stalwart for many years. A varianton the wingless Wickham's theme.

That is a nice looking fly John, Mirage tinsel looks great over the peach wool.
