Ahrex - Yellow May Fly - tied by Hanna Bossow Vestergaard

Eventhough the season for fishing the Yellow May Fly or Heptagenia Sulphurea is over the fly can still fool the fish to rise to the surface and inhale this beautiful pattern. The tying in of the wing is quite unique and a obviously way to tie other sizes and colorvariations of dryflies - an easy to tie fly and combined with the cdc-ffibres you will get a elegant yet super-floating pattern for the box.
We have had Hanna Bossow Vestergaard behind the vice and once again she makes magic behind the vice - the combination of female touch and matching nail-polish is apperently the keywords... ;-)

Beautiful fly. Your dubbing noodle is extremely fine and uniform in diameter, which is something I struggle with. Just a question, not a criticizm, why do you tie your wing sloping forward instead of rearward?

Thank you :-) The right tools is a big-big help for splitting the thread like here. The shape of the wing is for imitating the shape of the wings of the big yellow may fly when it has hatched and are floating down the stream or river.
