Tree Fly

 

I've been traveling and not at my bench the last few days.  So I've not posted in several days.  I was going through my photographs from the International Fly Tying Symposium from Nov. 2009 and ran across this fly.  I don't remember who's the tier and if some knows please post his name.  It's just fun.

Cooper Bug

The Cooper Bug may be tied in many other colors, including one particularly popular variation tied with light deer body hair pulled over a red dubbed body (Devil Bug).

Hook – TMC 2302*
Size: – 8 – 14
Thread – Black
Body – Peacock Herl
Rib – Red Wire
Tail/Shellback – Coastal Deer Hair

*Traditionally tied with a dry fly hook.

6 Dozen for the box.

 

They just don't look right.

 

Now that's better.
