Spey Hackles - Chinook

By Bob Petti

Chinook Spey - An Original Pattern
A sparsely dressed fly with an effective combination of colors and subtle flash.

The Chinook Spey was based on another effective fishing fly, the Fatal Attraction. I took the same combination of colors, the use of gold flash, and applied these to the basic Syd Glasso hackle tip wing steelhead spey style.

Thread Black Danville 6/0
Body Rear Half Flat Gold Tinsel, Front Half Fl. Orange SLF
Veil Gold Flashabou at tinsel/slf joint
Rib Oval Gold Tinsel
Hackle Black Ringneck Pheasant Rump
Collar Gadwall Flank
Wing Orange Hackle Tip

Duck's extended body

Roger Duckworth shows an innovative and extremely easy technique to make durable extended bodies for mayflies, caddis, and stoneflies, and he shows a way of hackling the dry flies so that the hackle is under the body but above the hook so that it supports the fly more like the natural.
