Anyone else have issues with elk hair not splaying?! Had to use deer on these. Don't think it will matter too much tho.

The actual tips on elk hair are really not very hollow so they tend not to splay very well. Deer hair is used by many tyers when tying “elk” hair caddis patterns for this very reason. I tie all of my cdc & “elk” patterns using deer hair so it splays more consistently.

Some midges tonight… messing around and experimenting.

The brown ones have yellow glow thread underneath and fluoresce when hit with a black light.

A little bit of this and that. A few flavors of sexy Walt's, a couple of pheasant tails weighted differently, some thin-bodied SOS', 6 tungsten missiles, and a few small pink chubbies to hang them under.

Hook - Mustad 79580, size 6
Thread - Black
Tail - Golden pheasant tippets
Rear Half of Body - Flat silver tinsel
Front Half of Body - Red wool
Rib - Flat silver tinsel
Hackle - Black
Wing - Bronze mallard flank feather

This classic Scottish pattern is basically the same fly as the Peter Ross, with the replacement of the teal wing with one of the barred bronze mallard flank feather. The fly is closely related to the Teal and Red. It is derived from a centuries old pattern known as Franck’s Glittering Fly. The pattern, tied in various sizes, imitates small minnows, and is effective on all trout species.

Nice JC, not split. About 50 years ago when JC was still available in fly shops my buddy & I bought a full cape. We cut it in fall with a razor blade. I still have some eyes but all of them are split.
