Started out as a partridge spider I found on the Shetland Trout [b]site[/b] (you have to scroll down a bit but it?s worth it; some neat flies), but ended up here. Interesting how different substrates (or different parts of the same material) take the dye - the chukar is more of a neon green closer to the quill and yellow towards the tip. The dyed grey squirrel makes a neat shade of olive; I’ll try this one out if I ever hit a green drake hatch again.
hook - BVFT Dry #10
thread - Danville 6/0 light olive
tail - bleached pheasant tail dyed chartreuse (1 Tbs Rit Neon Yellow/1 cup water)
rib - brassie wire hot yellow
body - dubbng grey squirrel dyed chartreuse
body hackle - grizzly dyed chartreuse
shoulder - chukar dyed chartreuse
