FLYMPH FORUM

This is a Steve Bird pattern in name only . Got a nice Welsumer hen skin over two years ago from Steve and it has a wealth of beautiful feathers.

Hook. ...... Unk. * Variant sent me some samples so I’m afraid other than sz 14 I don’t know much
Thread ..... Utc 70 Tan
Body. ..... Amber seal loop thread dubbed
Ribbing ..... Fine silver wire
Thorax. ..... Peacock ice dub
Hackle. ..... Welsumer hen cape

That's amazing looking. I need to get some upturned eye hooks, they look so cool. Actually, they look correct as hooks go for flymps.

Thanks Fishnkilts . It’s a pretty ugly fly . Looks better in person . I promise !

Hey Pat,
Good looking pattern.
The hook that you tied the Welsumer flymph on is a MARUTO D18 turned up eye dry fly, emerger hook.
All the best ,
Lou

Thanks Lou. Do you have any fish pictures from Oregon ?

Pat,
I must admit I am not much of a picture taker but I will see what I can dig up.
Also the hook I mentioned above is also called a Daiichi model 1330 turned up eye hook.

You guys are going to experience some hot weather this week. In my younger days Ispent
a good amount of time in Washington and Oregon and in the summer I use to enjoy the moderate
temps that were prevalent back then. These extreme temps we are experiencing are pretty disturbing.
Stay cool and I hope it passes quickly.
