Rough Olive
« Thread Started on Apr 14, 2008, 8:43pm »
I will say it before somebody else does. All of my patterns are very rough indeed :P. This pattern represents all of the olive species if tied up in different sizes and different shades.

Tying Materials

Hook: 12 -14 I demo on a Fulling Mill Down Eye Dry Size 14
Thread: Primrose
Tail: Pale blue dun fibres
Body: Olive seals fur or substitute
Rib: Fine gold wire
Hackle: Olive dyed badger cock with a blue dun wound through it.

Tying Method

Step 1: Secure the hook with the point protruding.

Step 2: Catch in the primrose thread and wind towards the rear of the hook.

Step 3: Catch in a short length of gold wire.

Step 4: Wind the thread to the rear of the hook and tie in a few pale blue dun cock fibres as a tail.

Step 5: Dub a small amount of olive seals fur to form a slim rope.

Step 6: Wind the rope to the front of the hook to form body.

Step 7: Wind the gold wire in open turns to form ribbing.

Step 8: Tie in an olive dyed badger hackle and a pale blue dun cock hackle.

Step 9: Wind the olive dyed badger hackle tying off and trimming the waste end. Wind the blue dun hackle through.

Step 10: Whip finish and varnish to complete.

I cast the fly into the void and waited with breath abated. The line tightened I heard the splash. Damn I've fallen in again!!!
