Denver Fly Fishing Show

Well the Denver Fly Fishing Show is done and has moved out of town for another year. I tied flies again this year at show Saturday and Sunday. Had a good time as always, got to see old friends, made some new ones, received a few custom orders, Thanks Gents! Want to thank all who stopped by to watch me twist up a few bugs. Here is a photo of one of Sunday's more popular bugs. The photo was taken by Carl P. Check out his blog CP's Fly Fishing and Tying.

This fly is my Prince Nymph Hybrid called The Stoned Prince.
Hook: Partridge CZ #12
Thread: Benecchi 12/0 Brown
Bead: Gold Tungsten 1/8
Tail: Dubbing Mix of Performance Flies UV Black Ice Dub and Life Cycle Golden Stone
