With all the cold snowy weather as of late one can get some relief by tying flies. I have been tying featherwing streamers for the last several days and would like to share one with you. I got the inspiration for the streamer from a photo I saw while viewing Run-a-Round Ranch blog. Theresa had several photos of a "sundog" posted. From that photo I selected some materials that would give the impression of a "sundog". I hope you enjoy.

That is a beautiful and very appropriately named fly!

I appreciate your comment.
I have already seen Theresa's 'sun dog' pictures, though before seeing them I had never heard the term, and they are wonderful. But this fly Brk is stunning too, I hope the trout that it hooks is worthy of it my man.

When viewed by hunters they are a sign of of impending success.
I don't think it will be fished.
Gorgeous fly Brk Trt! Your heads always stand out. Just beautiful taper's into the body and awesome lacquer job's! Love the fly - that would fire up some trout - or other fish - for sure!

The first I heard of them was in the movie "Deer Hunter". Robert De Niro made mention of them.
Another beauty, Alan.

Not sure about that, but I like the thought.
An impressive work of art. Whenever skill and love go together, expect a masterpiece, and that is what you've accomplished.

A very nice way of describing it.
Very nicely done. Thanks to Tex for letting me know.

And thanks to Tex
Very nice! It would be a shame to throw this one in the water and let some fish chew it up... :)
ReplyDeletePaul,
DeleteThanks.
I don't think that will happen....it might just go into a frame.
How cool for one blogger to inspire another. This is a beautifully done fly; I'm sure the fish will find it irresistible also!

Beautiful fly. I love how well the colors of that fly contrast the wood of your table.
ReplyDeleteJustin Carfagnini,
DeleteThanks.
That old piece of barn wood does make a nice background.
Very nice, I hope this lets you holler, "Get the net!" Went out yesterday and froze , but got 5 rainbows.

You were able to get out, you hooked 5 'bows, and you froze.....you had a fine day my friend.
