CFFC 7TH WINTER FLY SWAP

Hatching Sedge Pupa (Roberts) Tied by Mike Willis	Materials
	Hook: Type:  Sedge K2B Manufacturer:   Size:   10-16 Thread Colour to match body Body: Orange seals's fur Rib: Fine gold tinsel or wire Hackle: Brown partridge, tied as a rear-sloping collar Head: Natural deer hair in muddler style, roughly trimmed

Tier's Comments:     -     Roberts uses the "buoyant deer hair as a muddler style head to ensure that the pupa hangs in the film.... A few turns of lead wire at the rear of the body ensure that the pupa hangs vertically. The body should be well picked out and the deer hair not very densely packed, with a few longer fibres underneath."
