I tied up a few of my favorite small stream flies today.



Materials
Hook, Mustad #9671
Tail, woodchuck
Body, Aust possum
Wing, calftail
Hackle, Grizzly, Brown
Thread, hot orange







Tie in woodchuck guardhairs for tail






Wind back to just behind hookeye and tie in calftail wing






Trim calftail butts and wind back to tail tie in.
Tie in brown then grizzly hackle






Next dub on some Aust possum, approx 2 inches, then wind back to just in front of wing








Wind grizzly hackle to the front of wing and tie off and clip, then do the same with the brown hackle.







Whip finish and the fly is complete.












And after all that tying there was a roast chicken dinner with the fixins.
