Softhackle Hairwing

[ScottP]

Didn’t remember dyeing stuff in rust; found the bag digging for something else and liked the color. With a bit of imagination, it’s sort of an October Caddis; I’ll skip the thorax next time since it gets buried.

thread - UTC 70 burnt orange
tail- pheasant rump dyed rust (1 Tbs Rit Sunshine Orange, 1 Tbs Rit Golden Yellow/1 cup water)

Regards,
Scott
