Olive Intruder
Pretty far away from the original intruder but I just couldn’t come up with a proper name and this will have to do for the time being.
Tied again on a Waddington shank, this time the wing consists mostly of Peacock herls. People have been asking for closeups of the body construction on these and I will try to do a step by step next time when I tie some shank flies. But they are simple to tie, mostly just hackles and dubbing in between brushed out well.
Weight: Dumbell eyes in front below the shank.
Shank: Waddington 45mm
Dubbing: Salar Synthetic Series dubbing orange in flames as the first ball of dubbing to lift the hackle and then nasty rusty color for the rest of the body.
Rib: Oval silver tinsel.
Hacles: Ringneck Pheasant rump feathers dyed olive on the back after the the orange dubbing and in the front. Over the body a palmered hackle of olive Schlappen.
Wing: Bleached Peacock herl dyed tan over each hackle. Ringneck Pheasant rump feathers dyed olive over the body. Tan and natural Peacock herls on top.
