First 10

Tied these up for the salmon fishing forum's monthly fly swap. First 10 of any pattern I've tied up, very good practice. If you don't recognize the pattern its because I made it up. The swaps theme was 'James Bond' so I opted for tying a fly to replicate one of the more mature, classier actresses rather than any of the young one's! Here it is, the Dusty Dench.


Dressing:
Tag: 4 turns of silver oval tinsel.
Tail: Pink antron.
Butt: Peacock herl.
Body: Rear silver UNI Axxel and front black UNI Axxel.
Rib: Silver oval tinsel.
Wing: Grey arctic fox, few strands of silver ice wing, topped off by black arctic fox.
Underwing: Teal feather. 
Head: Black.

Looking forward to seeing the other flies I get in return now!
