Colleen's Claret for Trout- Fly Tying Tutorial
Colleen's Claret is a tribute to one of our dear customers who was an amazing fisher and very accomplished fly tyer. The passion she had for this sport and for tying was truly special. One of the most endearing traits of Colleen was her willingness to give a few flies to someone just starting out or who needed some extra help catching fish. A true ambassador and steward of our sport.

@SpawnFlyFish yes sir, she did! She created my favorite go-to that we dubbed Mona Gold.🥰
Hi Pete. I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my best friend to cancer last year and it still hurts. It's such a beautiful color! Hang in there Pete.

Really appreciate that. Sorry for you loss.
Claret is underrated in tying flies . In the u.k. the mallard and claret is a good wet fly. I respect and am sorry for our one of our spawn family has died but not forgotten

I used to blend a leech dubbing with superfly IMI seal dub in claret and hoarders bloody black with some ice dub was a killer leech color. Superfly is no longer around. Your new Nightmare semi seal dub is so close a match I know this one will be a winner !
