Fly of the Week

[Rev Rob]

The sparkle dun is my all time favorite dry fly. I have had my best days with an Adams Gray Sparkle Dun. Thanks for the instructions.

[drolfson]

Yes, Thank You very much. That is the best set of instructions I have seen in writing. Some things that 'troubled' me from time to time now make a lot more sense!!

I just laughed when I saw the picture. I have just finished tying several dozen for a yellowstone trip. I was thinking how frustrated I was a couple years ago when I began to ty them. I love them as well but I like the wing to lean foward a bit. Great fly!

To say I'm impressed would be "the" understatement of the month. Your methodology for tying this fly encompasses techniques used in general fly tying and those, I have NEVER seen better illustrated.
Now I would like to know : camera, lens settings etc.
I thought I was a photographer- I am humbled.

Awesome, well done. For a less bouyant hair I would suggest elk body. Same basic color, but smaller in diameter inside and out.

If flyfishing were a sin, I'de be the devil's right hand man.

The Sparkle Dun is a good example of an apparently "easy" fly that can be difficult to do well. Small things like the angle cut of the wing butts, forcing up the wing with ones thumb nail and back filling with thread. All make for a bug that is just a bit better than if you did not do those things. So, when people ask me; "thirty seven steps for a Prince Nymph?" my answer is; "yup, it would be only six if you knew the other thirty one beforehand"

Marco... At the time of that Tutorial I was using a Nikon Coolpix 990. I also figured that if I had lots of light, halogen light, it would help ...it did, and I ended up with the best "tan" of my life on... my hands.
