March Brown Flymph

Post by novabass » Sat Dec 27, 2014 6:41 pm

This is following in my Jedi Flymph Master's footsteps, Bill Shuck. (Star Wars fans should get that reference.)
This is my take on the Pete Hidy March Brown Flymph. I put a little more orange into my dubbing mixture. I used gold wire as my ribbing.

Mustad 94842 size #12
Thread: Pearsall's Gossamer Orange #19 Silk
Tail: Partridge
Body: mixture of orange and brown wool with Hare's Poll. Spun on Pearsall's Gossamer Orange #19 Silk on a Clark block.
Rib: UNI French Oval wire medium
Hackle: Partridge

That IS the Flymph I was looking for!

Poor fish... They will not be able to resist your mind tricks.

You'd be surprised 'Who' or what you might find within this eclectic group,
now where did that sonic screwdriver go ??? Must have misplaced it in the
TARDIS ... :?

I like everything about this fly. Like the hook. Is that model still available?

I saw that hook model at Sportsmans Warehouse in Grand Junction Colorado. They have them for sale online from sizes 18-12, 5.29/50

The Mustad Signature series R50/R50U hooks are the "new and Improved" version of the old 84940/94842 hooks, but they are not the same. The shank length is slightly shorter, the point is a different shape, and the color is not the same. I still very much prefer the old style hooks, and would really appreciate any good leads on where I can purchase some in sizes 12-16.
