Thunderhead Dry Fly - Fly Tying Appalachian/Great Smoky Mountain Trout Patterns

This Smoky Mountain original is attributed to Fred Hall of Bryson City, North Carolina. Jesse Jamerson may have brought the fly back from Wyoming but the exact origin is a bit hazy. This easy-to-tie pattern is a decent mayfly dun imitation or a generic attractor pattern. Hook: #10-18 dry fly Thread: Black Tail: Deer hair Body: Gray dubbing (medium) Wing: White calf tail Hackle: Brown cock Savage Flies is a project with the mission of encouraging and teaching fly tying to as many people as possible. The channel is named after one of my western Maryland homewaters, the Savage River. I've been uploading at least three new videos a week (usually Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday). Thanks for stopping by. Please let me know in the comments if you have any tips or tricks that could help me or anyone else watching.
