Tying Instructions: Try to align both the tippets and the JC feathers. If you want a Hardy styling of your fly tie in the directly on the top of the shank to keep it low, and thereby not letting neither build in height nor smear down the sides
Presentation Tips: A Black ranger.
The Black fields on the tippets should be aligned and so should the JC feathers. So on this fly I have failed. The general idea was to show hunthicks how to style a whole tippetwinged fly. Not an excuse, I know.
This fly was tied on a #2. That´s about as small as I go when it comes to the Ranger series.
