Fly Tying - How to tie the Magic Owl

Hook - Hanak H333 BL #10
Thread - UTC 140 D (Yellow)
Rib - Magic Quills size M
Wing - Natural CDC
Thorax - I have used a custom blend from Get Slotted, any light yellow or light hare dub will work well.

Relatively easy fly to tie, getting proportions correct is the key to turning out really nice versions of this pattern. The Yellow Owl is a very popular fly and takes its fair share of fish. This is a play on that pattern using some Magic Quills. I really like the way the quills pop when a thin layer of UV resin is applied.

As always would love to hear your thoughts on the pattern, leave me a comment below and I will do my best to answer. All the best Lindsay!
