I substituted ibis with swan, powdered blue macaw with blue\/yellow macaw and chatterer with kingfisher. The look and feel is the what is important here (plus the fact that I don&#8217;t have 6 chatterer feathers around for testing out new patterns). Will try to tie this one up with light blue hackle tips to see how that can work: the kingfisher is not maintaining that clear colour once it is in water, so for fishing purposes it would be good to have something that will last a bit longer.<\/p>\n<p>A pattern that can be tied up with both shorter (and more sparse) hackle and one with longer hackle, depending on the movement you want in the water. A heron hackle in front of either the rear or front hackle could also be something to explore.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/flyfisher.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/2016.12.267.black_creeper_grub_top.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3586\" src=\"http:\/\/flyfisher.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/2016.12.267.black_creeper_grub_top-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"413\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flyfisher.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/2016.12.267.black_creeper_grub_top-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/flyfisher.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/2016.12.267.black_creeper_grub_top-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/flyfisher.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/2016.12.267.black_creeper_grub_top-768x480.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hook: Mustad 80500-npbl #1\/0 Thread: Semperfli 18\/0 Tag: Silver and light blue silk Tail: swan &amp; macaw Rear hackle: Black, cheeked with kingfisher Body: Black chenille with a black hackle in the center, cheeked with kingfisher Front hackle: Black, cheeked<span class=\"ellipsis\">&hellip;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[148],"tags":[462,464,17,162],"class_list":["post-3583","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-salmon","tag-grub","tag-kelson","tag-mustad","tag-salmon-2"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/flyfisher.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3583","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/flyfisher.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/flyfisher.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flyfisher.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flyfisher.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3583"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/flyfisher.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3583\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3601,"href":"https:\/\/flyfisher.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3583\/revisions\/3601"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/flyfisher.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3583"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flyfisher.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3583"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flyfisher.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3583"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
