Quill and wire body Klinkhamers – Demuth Fly Tying

The latest Klinkhamers tied by John and Katie Demuth are exquisite! The addition of wire wrapped around the body makes them great ties. On the first, John mentions the hot pink Fluoro Fiber tag makes this extra fancy, kinda like Powerbait, haha!

Following this up, the Demuths just posted, this weekend, another Klink that pops with color, which also mimics the same body style as the previous one. Better yet, they used FrankenDUB Nymph Dubbing for the thorax! (They get extra points for this.) The post on this one is Mallard Flank that is shaped into a loop. As you can see, this makes a beautiful post. See below for both recipes.

Last, but not least, the photography by Katie definitely raises the eye candy to another level.
