Stupid Blue

By Darc Knobel, submitted by Buzzy.

Description

There are two layers of wings, alternating with peacock breast feathers and blue eared pheasant dyed black. The pictures of this fly are of one I tied to TRY (poorly at best) to imitate the fly Darc tied and gifted me. I managed to hook and land a big hen steelhead fishing the "Top of the Y" (Thompson River); this was 2005.
