Hi Rob. I haven’t typed to you in a while. This is a classic NE fly that has been a staple for lots of fly boxes. This is a simple fly and great choice to tie and fish for beginners and long timers alike. There are those out there that would love to see junglecock - better yet - jungle fowl - eyes tied in last. These are sometimes hard to find and expensive feathers. Well, happy travels and fishing this summer. I’m doing a deck rebuild, what fun!
Tom- most of the one's I've seen for sale during the years didn't have Jungle Cock eyes, but they were used on the pattern, and a lot of streamers of the era. Odd you mention the deck rebuild, I'm working on mine. Not fun replacing deck boards! Good luck.
@@robstreeteroutdoors8912 Yup, the good old deck. There was some major rot in the main girder holding it all up and happy it didn’t come crashing down. UA-cam has fly tying videos and lots of deck build videos too! It’s a big job but I’m coming to completion soon if the stinking heat would just mellow out. Cheers and keep that line tight for me until I can get back out there.
Beautiful fly. Thanks.
Glad you liked the video!
