Moon's Madam X

No comments yet

A version of the classic Madam X created by Brandon Moon of Moonlit Fly Fishing. This may be a bit easier to tie and will certainly be a bit more buoyant.

Hook: #10-12 dry fly or terrestrial
Thread: Body color
Tail: Natural deer hair
Head: 1-2 mm foam (color to match body)
Wing: Natural deer hair
Legs: Rubber
Thorax: Any fuzzy dubbing

Fun fact: Fly Tying does NOT have to be expensive.

Savage Flies is a project with the mission of encouraging as many people as possible to get into fly fishing and tying. The channel is named after one of my western Maryland homewaters, the Savage River. Thanks for stopping by.

Since you got this far …

A money box
The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
