#81 Butch's Phantom - Darren MacEachern

Tied by: Darren MacEachern
Originated by: Earl "Butch" Carey
Sources: Trolling Flies for Trout and Salmon; Leeman / Stewart Pg. 96

Hook: Gaelic Supreme Mike Martinek Rangeley Streamer #1 6xl
Thread: Black
Tail: Orange hackle fiber
Body: Orange floss
Rib: Silver embossed tinsel with the first 3 wraps wound close together
Underwing: White bucktail
Wing: 2 orange hackles flanked by black hackles
Shoulder: Silver pheasant body
Eyes: Jungle cock
Head: Black

Notes: The original Butch's Phantom has a painted eye and no jungle cock. With the silver pheasant shoulder, this Phantom is only a bit of peacock herl and some golden pheasant crest away from being Butch's ghost. I am a fan of the orange under black wing and it can be seen in a few of my own creations such as the Broad Street Bully or Carrie Stevens' Allie's Favorite.

Since you got this far …


The GFF money box

… 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.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher was updated to a new publishing system early March 2025, and there may still be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
