A new addition to the fly pattern database has been submitted by geraldsherbrook:

One out of the 'Fishing Gazette 1900' - "The BLACK AND ORANGE JOINTER" on a 3/0 hook (Frank HEARN)

[geraldsherbrook]

Dear MEMBERS,

After my 'primeur' ...the "ORANGE GUINEA HEN" (Thanks ALL and everyone for Your warm words and critiques and pointers ! )

it was 'evident' I would do my very best to 'SEARCH' another ONE of those 'obscure jewels' ! (to love or to hate)

I was at home today - had a day off !...and in a sense I must prepare a tyingsession in my local club for saterday evening coming ...(rotation by the members in groups of 4/5 to three different guests (euh I am local tooo but I am vieuwed as a guest ! wink ! - so I will receive 3 groups of 4/5 tyers who will tie with me - a simple CLASSIC wet (I have enough of my natural grey goose and enough dark mottled brown natural turkey) ...

but but but I was sooooooooooo scared that with EASTERN sunday in vieuw and EASTERN monday that I will have my occupations with my 'own' family ...that I went for DOING a 'extra' weekeffort (read between saterday last I launched my 'hen' and this ONE)...psttttttttttttt don't forget I have to work tooooooo !

Anwyay here SHE is : "The BLACK AND ORANGE JOINTER"

It's a pattern I searched and found on the stunning site by COLIN INNES ...read "FEATHERSFLIESANDPHANTOMS" in his section NON DEE FLIES .

Colin says it's a pattern who was 'launched' in the FISHING GAZETTE of 1900 and it was invented by FRANK HEARN.

(psttttttttttttt there is also a "BLACK JOINTER"

I was attracted to the repeated flosssections in black and orange banded with 3 fine silvers and three different mohair manes ...(everybody will know by now I love working a bit with mohair)...and it seems also I have something with patterns with orange ...as YOU perhaps rembember that ORANGEMAN ...and the 'one' of last week ...my 'ORANGE hen'


I also was aware 'right' from the start that it wouldn't be a piece of cake - and that I had to stretch somewhere my limits for a tinny bit !...a juggling thins those repeated flosssections and flosstransitions with the banded silver and mohair...a throath with the extra of jay (the pattern also tolerates TEAL for the throath ! ) ...

THE MOST 'difficulties' I encountered still where when I tried to get a GP tippet underwing - not to do with those mohair manes - who letted litterally that GP tippets taking FLIGHT ...so I obted for a mixed GP tippet and it worked - even it was still awkward and letted 'broadening' my surface to put on the headwing of 'bustard and GP tail'...

the fly YOU see is ONE or another 3/0 reworked gift hook - perhaps not the most perfect finish but a nice hook anyway

patterndiscreption for the "BLACK AND ORANGE JOINTER"

tip and tag : silver twist (only)
tail : topping
body : black and orange flosssections with 3/4 silver bandings and on each of the segments a mohair mane (blue on the first / yellow on the second and claret on the third)
throath : golden olive hackle and jay (teal is a option toooo and tolerated !) - I went for the JAY
wings : tippets + GP tail + bustard
sides : teal
roof : brown mallard
topping over it
blue/yellow macaws horns
herlhead

I want to give with that I am realy realy PLEASED (again) with my result ! ...SHE 'eyes' nice ! (and it will be a 'keeper')

Yes it did great to tie a fly and feel afterwards the 'proudness' and the 'satisfaction'...

LOVE YOU ALL ............pstttttttttt and I think YOU will have to wait now a day or 10 to see something by me !...hopefully BUD will not taking up his mind ...or considering to put me in 'the SLACKERS CLUB' at that time ! - but I promise to CONTINUE as allways

THANKS MY friends for all the FRIENDSHIP ...I can't state that enough ! ...

Geert:

Your last two flies have been simply magnificent. It's as though it took two years to go from "A" to "B" and one month to go from "C" to "Z". Cause to celebrate.(but watch that heart my dear friend)

[aaronostoj]

Very nice, Geert. This pattern is almost identical to Francis Francis' #2 for the Owenmore (I can't remember which fly # it was, but it was one of his listed for the Owenmore) Great job on this one, I love flies with mohair in them.
