CLARET AND GRAY - Just Old Flies - February 1, 2010

CLARET AND GRAY

I really like the juxtoposition of the color claret and a dark gray wing, so I was quite pleased this week to find a package in the mail from long-time reader Tom Dorgeloh. He sent some dark Canada Goose wing quills, among other things, and I couldn’t wait to do some flies with them.

Eric,

Beautifully dressed, as always. Claret is one of my favorite colors to tie with for some reason. It is also a very good color for catching fishies. Love all your examples.

Another great one, Eric! I particularly enjoyed seeing all the different styles side by side.
