I wanted to post the materials list for the Bill Shuck Isonychia Flymph that I wrote about in the About page of the blog here. This is one of my favorite flies of all time.
Isonychia / Slate Drake Flymph
From Bill: “This was a pattern that I posted on the Flymphforum in April 2012. The vintage hook is one given to me be a friend in Virginia, and the European hare dubbing was dyed by another friend who lives in Holland, the same guy I hosted for two weeks this past spring and who gave me an excellent 5 wt. bamboo rod he made himself.
Hook: Vintage Mustad 3913B. Size #12
Thread: Pearsall’s Gossamer silk thread, #14 claret
Hackle: Medium dun hen saddle
Tail: Three moose body hairs
Body: European hare dyed claret, spun in a dubbing brush with claret silk thread.
Nice that you got a bamboo rod for hosting your friend! Such a deal!
