Hidy Iron Blue Dun

[Old Hat]

Here is a nice Iron Blue Dun pattern given by Hidy. It is a little variation of his from what most of us are used to. This variation is found in Famous Flies and Their Originators, Overfield, 1972. I haven't tied one of these before. Definitely putting some in the box.

You tie on a different plane, Carl. Elegance without pretention; so well done.

Thanks Carl! It is next on my tying list.

Beautiful fly, thanks for posting this

[Old Hat]

Thanks gentlemen. I forgot to mention that I tied this with the open wraps in the thorax so that it rides the surface a bit more.

Carl,
Yet another example of your impeccable tying skills! What a great representation of the great Iron Blue Dun! Simply wonderful and a joy to look at! We all know what the fish will do with this classic!
We would like to see more of what you have in your mind!
