Countryside Alliance Ireland - love the countryside

This Pattern came about last October while tying up some picric dyed Dabblers for a good friend.
He saw me tying up Mallard and claret, and he asked if it was possible to tie up a couple using picric materials.

TYING PROCESS
Hook Kamasan B175
Thread Brown silk
Tail Picric dyed pheasant tippet
Body Dark claret dubbing with orange glister mixed in
Rib Gold UTC wire
Beard Dark claret saddle hackle
Wing Premium Bronze mallard dyed in Picric Acid
This pattern has proved a real killer on the lakes for rainbows, and it should work equally as well on the main Loughs.
