Sanchez One Feather Wet Fly SBS

[Hans Weilenmann]

Scott,

Nice one.

You may or may not be familiar with a fly design called Glanrhos, which utilizes a single feather to do hackle then wing, producing a very similar effect.

Here is a video example:

Hans,

I've heard of the Glanrhos; tried tying it and wasn't happy with how mine turned out. I'll watch the vid and give it a try again; thanks for the link.

Have a Happy New Year,
Scott

Really like this fly, Scott. What type of hen feather did you use? Hen back or hen neck or hen cape or.....?
Thanks,

Joe

Joe,

Thanks. It's a hen cape, apparently a Dutch Welsummer (found that tidbit over on the Soft Hackle Journal http://soft-hacklejournal.blogspot.c...?q=welsummer); lots of very nice markings on it. Wish I could remember where I bought it because I'd get some more.

Have a Happy New Year,
Scott
