    Default Low flow swinger

    Here is something I will be swing on the A with these low flows. The wing on this fly came from one of my chickens so I thought I would put it to use. Im pretty happy with the finish product!

    Thanks guys, I do love me some black & blue as well! Usually more black with some blue accent, but she should work. Two of my chickens died in the summer months so I went to surgery and got a good supply of hackle from 3/4- 3 1/2" long. These are egg layers , but believe me I did my research on what there feathers looked like when mature. Thanks again!

    Nice tie Mark. Why did you decided to go with blue? Just curious.

    Brian, those two colors are my favorite for winter steel! I have plenty of those feathers left so color combos are endless! Here is one I fished for the summers..Click image for larger version.
