Desk Mess Flies: #3

Good Lord...  The bottom of the pile has been reached!  Time to make a mess again.

This fly changed significantly even though I used the same materials from the Desk Mess #2 fly.

Tying note:

I stripped off approximately 4.5 feet of Sulky Holoshimmer to make the body.  No need to worrying about blowing through this material.  It comes on a 250-yard spool.  Simply keep doubling the material until you have 8 to 10 inches to work. Tie off to the far side of the hook.  Twist clockwise tightly and wrap forward.

Materials:

Hook:  Firehole 316, Size 10

Bead:  3/16" Brass, Black

Weight:  An additional 15-wraps of .020 lead free wire.

Thread:  UTC70, Black (On one of my bobbins.)

Body:  Sulky Holoshimmer, Lt Copper #6011.  Darken the back with black indelible ink.

Legs:  Grizzly Micro Legs, Fl. Orange

Thorax/Collar:  Sybai Fine Flash, Black
