Borger Color System

All about flies Fly Tying

I’m trying to find the [color cards]/[numbers] for the Borger color system. Any ideas?

Another way to go about this is ask which color I want: Gary Borger speaks of a red-brown nymph as one he just won’t be without. What is the red-brown color? Is it more mohoghany or rust? Or is it the color of a Pheasant Tail?

Anyone know?

Thanks. Fish on!

Maybe this thread maybe of some use for you. Some of the links no longer exist to websites that one time had charts.

I’d just use pheasant tail; it works pretty well.

I have “Fly-Tyer’s Color Guide” by Caucci/Nastasi. Has about 20 pages of color plates with every color imanigable and the formulae for creating them.
