Do you mean a sparkle dun?

Hi FG....a BWO Sparkle Dun is basicly a comparadun with a shuck instead of split tails.The shuck is usually antron or z lon in a brownish shade. Hope that's what you were looking for....Jason

"There's always room for one more wrap of hackle"

That's it. I was thinking comparadun with the hair wing. Thanks.

FG: gotta love the sparkle dun. One of my favorite flies to fish during bwo hatches. Too bad I hate tying them (I am terrible with the deer hair on them LOL). I also like to use them with CDC instead of deer hair...works really good for smaller sizes on slow moving waters/stillwaters http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/biggrin.gif )

I found the best instructions on the intermediate tying series by AC.

I know what you mean. I think I will try to tie one cripple style. CDC would be great on 18's and smaller....good Idea!
Actually the one I was using almost looked like hackle with the bottom trimmed.

FG: My dad caught a few fish on the Madison this weekend while using a size 20 CDC sparkle dun even though there were no mayflies present. It makes a fair midge emerger pattern as well which is why I tie them in size 18-22 for stillwaters.

I have moved over to rabbit foot for the wings on such flies, no need to stack the 'hare' and very durable.

He or she who uses the toys the most wins!

GregH: I also use hair from a snowshoe hare's foot as well. I forgot about that, but i also works very well....hmmm maybe I should sit down and tie a few up tonite http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/smile.gif.
