Okay I'm not in the same league at UG but this is my effort at a Silver Grey conehead
Tube of choice
Tag ~ oval silver
Butt ~ Fl yellow floss
Rear body ~ silver holo
Front body ~ silver lite brite
Rib ~ silver wire
Palmered hackle ~ soft grey cock
Wing ~ Yellow AF/silver lite brite/pearl flash/green AF/peacock flash/brown AF/more flash
Cheeks ~ JC
Front hackle ~ soft grey then grizzle
Silver conehead
With one of the favoured tipples
Is it worth a space in the fly box for the spring?
Tied on the Mchardy's of C 1/8" copper tube which is quite thin walled. It needs a big liner, which of course wouldn't fit through the conehead. A quick visit to the shed to bore out the conehead was required. Not too much evidence of scoring on the head thankfully.
