Lemon and Grey
Classic featherwing fly that I taught at the latest workshop. Had to make few adjustments to the pattern from Pryce-Tannatt since some of the materials are very hard to get at the moment (like quality Teal flanks)
Hope the tyers at the class learned something new about these old flies and the tying techniques. They aren’t easy to tie at first but once you get the hang of it it’s just like any other type of fly. I you haven’t tried it before I suggest to go for it, this pattern is a perfect example of a good fly to start with.
