Quigley's Half Dun SBS

[ScottP]

Another iteration of the Hacklestacker; cool fly, pretty simple to tie. Used flat-wax nylon for the post this time; as long as it's under sufficient tension it works very well (also less buildup on smaller flies). Shown here as a PMD; change colors/size to suit your needs.

thread - Danville 6/0 pale yellow
shuck - Congo Hair brown
flash - Midge Krystal Flash rootbeer
