#99 Ned's Delight - Alan Grombacher

Tied by: Alan Grombacher
Originated by: Alan Grombacher

Hook: #2 Castle Arms Heritage Allcock hook
Thread: White flat waxed nylon
Tag: Silver flat tinsel
Body: Light olive floss
Ribbing: Flat silver tinsel
Belly: White bucktail
Wing: 4 red grizzly hackles
Shoulder: Golden pheasant tippet
Eye: Jungle cock nail
Head: Black

Notes: I first seen this pattern in the book "A Compendium of Canadian Fly Patterns" by Bob Jones and Paul Marriner. The book includes a few of Al's streamers as well as some 1600 other flies, a must have for any fly tyers library. The red wing on the pattern reminds me a bit of Al's Maligne Laker (to come later in the year), a killer in Jasper's trophy brookie lakes.

Long story short

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

Long story longer

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.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
