Old Master

Old Master

Soft Hackle

Hook 1 (= size 14)

Wings - Hackled with a feather from the inside of a Woodcock’s wing

Body - Ash-colored silk, wrapped over with Heron’s herl

* Certain species of Heron is an illegal tying material in the USA. A substitute is gray goose.

Federal Register :: General Provisions; Revised List of Migratory Birds

I'm not into tying with silk threads or tying for museums. I use thread I have on hand.
