My first blind-eye tied for fishing: a Lady Caroline on a large Partridge #3/0 hook, I have never fished this before either, so this will be something to test out once the rivers open again. The gut is artificial gut from Helsinki Spey Clave.

A first for me: the classic Lady Caroline!

I have looked at this for a long time but have been missing the materials to do it properly. The base pattern itself is not difficult, but getting it perfect is another thing: I’ll tie up a batch of these for fishing this winter, maybe experimenting with some sealsfur for body dubbing.
