The Global FlyFisher has recently been updated to a new publishing system, and there may be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.

#215 Black Widow - Jon Harrang

Tied by: Jon Harrang
Originated by: Jon Harrang

Hook: Gaelic Supreme Mike Martinek/Carrie Stevens streamer hook size 2, 8XL
Body: Red mylar
Rib: Oval red tinsel, small
Belly: A small bunch of red bucktail followed by a larger bunch of dyed black bucktail
Underwing: 2 large golden pheasant crests, dyed bright red
Wing: Tied in as 2 separate units with shoulders, with each side consisting of 2 black saddle hackles
Shoulder: Mallard flank feather dyed black
Eyes: Jungle Cock
Throat: Black schlappen fibers with small golden pheasant crest dyed bright red at front
Head: Black Benecchi 12/0

Notes: This is a striking dark pattern contrasted by the brilliant red dyed golden pheasant crests. In addition to trolling this on a deep eastern lake, I would also throw it into some of the chilled western rivers for the winter run steelhead.

… I have a small favor to ask.

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.
