Materials Used; Hook- Gold Salar Double, Thread- Fire Orange Uni-8/0, Tag- Small Oval Gold Tinsel, Tail- Golden Pheasant Breast Dyed Hot Orange and two Blue and Yellow Macaw Fibres, Rib- Small Oval Gold Tinsel, Body- First Half Chinese Red Uni-Floss or Yarn, Second Half Opal Mirage, Middle Hackle- Dyed Sunburst Hen or Cock and Dyed Hot Orange Rump Fibres some top and bottom, Front Hackles- Hot Orange and Dyed Red Badger with Sunburst Hackle Fibres tyed in top and bottom and inbetween the two hackles, Eye's- Dyed Flo- Yellow Jungle Cock.. There's a lot of materials on this fly so watch you don't put too many turns of hackle on as it's very easy to over do it.

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
