That is the epitome simple elegance. I seek that in flies. I have tied some similar and they work well. I really love old style wet flies-dries as well. Nice work and clip. :-)

That's a classic, Tim. Great video!

[@roberta.k4213]

Ahhhhh, one of my favorites!!! Very cool 😎

[@davehall2160]

Thanks Tim Great looking fly

[@SmokeumPeacepipe]

I was just gifted a bag of tying materials that were collecting dust, and in it was a big bag of nice wood duck feathers. I will definitely use a few of them to tie this fly!

[@reserrvoirman]

Definitely a winner, nicely tied.

My ordered fly tying stuff including some wood duck is sitting in Memphis 😄

[@robertwinot3892]

I like using wood duck for the tail. Gives the tail life.

What color is the hen hackle

[@adameveritt9888]

What is your target species?

[@dmcortho]

Why Veevus thread?

[@tightlinevideo]

I find Veevus to be very "grippy". Probably because it's very thin, has a good bit of texture and perhaps most importantly has a little stretch to it. Anyway, I like it for wets like this where the wing(s) and the hackle collar are tied in close proximity.
