WOODS SPECIAL

THREAD	black
TAG	flat silver tinsel
TAIL	golden pheasant tippets
BODY	fluorescent orange chenille
RIB	flat silver tinsel
WING	wood duck flank
COLLAR	grizzly hackle tied back
COMMENT	Sometimes called the Wood Special, this fly is believed to be originated by a tyer named Joe Sterling. Eric Leiser's "The Book of Fly Patterns", also provides a different dressing then the one listed above. The difference is that in this reference, there is no tag, and a throat of brown hackle is added before jungle cock cheeks, and the grizzly collar.
