Fly Tying a Yellow Hammer Dry Fly

>> YOUR LINK HERE: ___ http://youtube.com/watch?v=a8VyaouevZU

Vaguely reminiscent of the popular Yellerhammer nymph created in the Great Smoky Mountains, the origin of this dry fly variant has been lost to history. Despite its unknown provenance, this can be an effective attractor pattern for any number of trout. • Hook: #12-16 dry fly • Thread: Black • Tail: Yellow hackle fibers • Body: Grizzly dyed yellow, palmered tightly and clipped short • Wing: Mallard flank, split • Hackle: White, cream or light ginger • If you would like to support Savage Flies' mission of giving back to the fly tying community, and you shop at Amazon, please consider using the following Amazon storefront for any purchases.
