Good looking fly!!

Very nicely done! Can you list the hook size/model and bead size you’ve used? I’d like to copy this pattern.

Hook. MFC 7000. #16 dry fly.

Thread Ultra burnt orange 70 denier.

Wire small silver

Bead. Nickel silver 5/64.

Hackle English Partridge male outer covert feather

Thank you Tom.

OMG! Blasphemy!

Only kidding, I'm more sacrilegious than you! I sometimes dress spiders on a jig hook

And why do you need a bead? What’s wrong with a heavy nymph hook?

It does. I blame my job for exposing me to terrible, terrible things within the fly fishing/tying market.
