Burning Haystack

Fly: Tim Didas, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann

Hook: Any dry fly #10-20
Thread: 6/0 Danville Flymaster, flourescent fire orange
Tail: Moose body hair
Body: Dubbing, tyer's preference. I've used tan Australian opposum on this fly
Wing: Hot or flourescent orange deer body hair. Wing is flared out at approximately 160-180 degrees

Notes:


Another variation on a popular Fran Betters pattern. I find the orange wing makes the fly very visible on rough water and on water with glare.
