Claret Sunset Spey

[eunanhendron]

Tied this up for a swap on another forum which will likely be my last swap for a while (writing my PhD thesis).


Pretty simple pattern, as follows.

Hook: AO Spey size 3
Body Gold Tinsel
Rib: Silver Wire (Medium) counterwrapped
Hackles - Claret Whiting Rooster Spey, followed by custom dyed sunburst whiting hen
Head Black.

Hope you guys like them

They are HOT Eunan!! Have you used Dave McNeese's Blue Heron hook before? I was wondering if you might be able to tell me the slight differences between those hooks and Aaron's hooks.

i have both hooks at home. I'd say the McNeese are slightly finer wire, but not by much. McNeese are more round wire too, the AO are a little bit square i think. I can take pics of both side by side tonight and you can see the difference yourself.
