#158 Northwest Bay - Darren MacEachern

Tied by: Darren MacEachern
Originated by: Ken Thayer
Source: Long Feathers Long Flies: Ken Thayer 1997 Pg. 13

Hook: Mustad 3907A #2
Thread: Black flat waxed nylon
Tag: Embossed copper tinsel
Body: Silver tinsel flat
Rib: Embossed copper tinsel
Belly: Peacock herl, pink bucktail and white bucktail
Wing: 2 dark dun hackles flanked by hot pink hackles
Shoulder: Mallard flank
Eye: Jungle cock
Head: Black

Notes: This is another pattern found in Ken Thayer's "Long Feathers Long Flies" booklet. The dark grey feathers flanked by the pink hackle is really quite convincing as a smelt body when the gets saturated. Ken describes this smelt pattern as being a productive one for trolling on New York's Lake George.

Thanks Kelly

I’m a fan of the pink and grey, I guess the head could be smaller here too, but I’m pretty happy with it overall.

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.
