I tend to use an India Cape-dyed Blue Dun Grey. ( cost about 15$ Canadian) He is right on the Brahma hen .I have the whole skin with chick-a-boo,but you can buy just the patch for much less. The thread I USED ON A SIZE 10 HOOK WAS 140 D ULTRA THREAD. Thanx for the pattern Rick. Just giving your viewers a choice in materials . Tight lines everybody😋

Hi Rick - where did you get your vice extension? A combo Regal and Renzetti vice extension. Good to keep your head level with the fly! Thanks

[@rickwollum3732]

I bought it years ago in Bend, OR. at the Flybox Flyshop.
I recently ordered another one from Wapsi.
The table I was tying on would not allow my c-clamp to work, so I borrowed the regal base for the video.
