Hatchmaster Green Drake SBS
http://i1302.photobucket.com/albums/...pso5u7ksib.jpg
Variation of a Darbee Two Feather; not sure who came up with this version. Cool fly, pretty simple tie; good thing because I don't see these standing up to much chewing. Tied here as a Green Drake (hence the slightly elongated wings); change color/size to suit your needs. In smaller sizes, you might want to try some different materials - mallard breast (natural or dyed), partridge?
hook - Dai Riki 125 #10
thread - Danville 6/0 olive
tail/body - mallard flank dyed olive
wings - hen hackle tips black
hackle - grizzly dyed olive
Part 1
mash barb, start thread, wrap to point above point

prep mallard (moistening fingers while stroking fibers back helps)
