FLYMPH FORUM

... in flymph style.

Hook: Mustad 94842, Size #16
Thread: Pearsall's Gossamer #6A light orange (aka gold)
Hackle: European jackdaw upper covert
Tail whisks: Black rooster hackle
Body: Muskrat underfur spun in 6A thread on Clark block

For a fleeting moment I thought about the threads going on with Muskrat. I caught a few fish this morning on a Muskrat pattern. Nothing as jaw dropping as what you and Doug have been posting. Great looking pattern Bill!

Muskrat variations? Was that A Frank Zappa song?

Here are some quick additions in Mustad 3906 #14s...

Starling, Muskrat and Yellow


Jackdaw, Muskrat and Chartreuse


and a hot Moorhen, Muskrat and Orange

A truly tasty trio, Roadkill Bill.

Inspiring work, Bill & Bill! You guys make a great team, and even better flies.

Nicely done, fellas.

Bill S, the proportions of that hackle and tail make this thing very elegant. I haven't tied with jackdaw in some time but it looks awesome here. I always like the way an orange underbody shines on the flymph patterns. This is a nice combination. I believe I have some very similar in my box, I just wish I had more time to drown them. Soon I hope.

Bill L, that's a sweet assortment. Like the jackdaw hackle, that moorhen hackle makes me want to get downstairs to the vise and sort through my favorite skins. Beautiful.

Fellows,
Yum! They all look great! Holy cow....have I started a Moorhen revolution?
As we used to yell to my mom from the dining room table, "More Muskrat!"
Sorry Bill, I couldn't pass this one up!

Good looking flies gents, I'll have to sit down at the desk after work tonight. I know some brookies that need caught.
