The Daily Fly......

6/18/2013

 
Today's "daily"  is a Preston Jennings inspired fly.  I've tied it on a vintage Sealy salmon iron using a number of UV dyed materials. (most of which can be found for sale on our website).  This was a fun fly to tie, and I anticipate many more of this style of fly to come from my vise.  As I began to tie it, I could think of other materials and color combinations I am eager to try.

Excellent! You going to sell the blue dyed jungle cock? Been contemplating purchasing a cape. That blue color looks great!

Thanks Mark! I've got the blue dyed JC for sale (just not on the site yet...) It's varies from $5,95-7.95 per 10 feathers. This blue is an extremely hard shade to dye on JC, because any yellow on the nail will turn the feather green (yellow+blue=green). If you'd like to order some please give me a call or shoot me an email. Thanks!
