Black and Orange Wet Fly – Fly Tying Fly Recipe

Black and Orange Wet Fly – Fly Tying Fly Recipe

Black and Orange Wet Flyblack & orange wet fly is a fantastic wet to fish mid-depth in flowing streams

Fish this fly in medium running clear streams. Strip the line to make it attractive. I find this fly good for pan fish as well.

The best hooks for this fly are:

Mustad # 3399
Sizes: 10 – 20

Fly Recipe:

Thread: Black 6/0.

Tail: Black Hackle – want a slightly different look tie on Golden pheasant tippets instead.

Rib: Black Floss

Body: Orange Floss

Hackle: Black

Wing: Black – crow quill for the wing. This works well since I am not a crow fan and will shoot them. Never let anything go to waste!!
