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?
Very nice tie. Not just what was he thinking when he blended those materials but I would buy the beer and popcorn to watch someone acquire that special ram's wool!
