New fly tying season: what to work on?
"Tom Littleton" wrote
Hook--standard wet fly, sizes 16-20
Thread--Danville 6/0 olive brown
Rib--yellow silk or cotton buttonhole twist
Hackle--starling
Tie on thread, run to bend, tie in ribbing, run thread back
to a bit short of the eye. Rib with yellow thread, tie off.
Hackle wet fly collar style with starling, 3 or 4 turns will
do. Tie off a neat head and finish. For some reason, this is sort of the
only fly that works for me during large periods
of Sept and October here in PA, where little olives are the daily fare.
Enough to be a "solution" fly?? Try it and get back to me......

I will tie some soon, and I will report .... thanks, Tom
