Dry Fly

Tied By Brent Jones

Hook: Kumoto Standard Dry Fly K100-10

Thread: UTC 70 denier

Materials-

back: 2mm craft foam, sized to hook gap

abdomen: Wapsi Antron Dubbing, Yellow

legs: Whiting Neck, Bronze Grade, Brown

Notes:

This is a great beginner pattern! All of the colors can easily be manipulated to suit your local Beatles. To add color just take a sharpie marker and color the foam a desired! The foam will take the color quickly, so be prepared to use a finger to wipe the ink immediately.
