The unmistakable colors of the Vietnam Service Medal Ribbon have been used through the years on a number of fly patterns, from Stimulators to elaborate fully dressed salmon flies. However, the use of stacked and packed deer hair can be readily applied to reproducing service and campaign ribbons, if you’re ready to commit a bit of time and lose some hair. In this case, Jeff Creamer’s Fido pattern has been shrunk down a bit and simplified slightly to act as the base. Follow along as we tie the pattern, and maybe give it a go yourself!
