Tup's Indispensable
Hook - Standard dry fly
Thread -Yellow.
Tails - Blue dun, Honey Dun, Brassy Dun, Ginger (depicted)
Tip – Yellow thread
* Body - A dubbing mixture with a very faint light red color
consisting of wool from the scrotum of a ram, crème-colored unborn seal’s fur
and the same dyed red as well as yellow and a little wool from a lemon-colored
Cocker Spaniel
Hackle - Blue dun, Honey Dun, Brassy Dun, Ginger (depicted)
* Obviously, the body dubbing mentioned above wasn’t used to
tie this fly. I merely hand mixed red, cream, burnt orange wool with a little
yellow rabbit fur to achieve the pinkish colored dubbing.
The urine stained wool from the scrotum of a ram was
definitely not used. What in the hell was the originator thinking
when he blended those materials?
