Tied by: Bill Chandler
Originated by: Bill Chandler
Hook: Gaelic Supreme Mike Martinek Rangeley Streamer hook 8xl
Thread: White
Tag: Silver holographic tinsel
Body: Light olive floss
Ribbing: Silver holographic tinsel
Under-shoulder: Red and grey hackle fibers
Throat: Red and grey hackle fibers
Wing: Golden olive hackle flanked by white hackle flanked by light dun hackle
Shoulder: Coral blue guinea fowl
Topping: Silver pheasant crest
Eyes: Jungle cock
Head: Black
Notes: The wing is a light fresh blend of colour with hints of olive peaking out from behind the silvery exterior. The sweeping pheasant crest topping creates a distinct back to this striking smelt imitation. If you are in a pinch, and find yourself short of the black silver pheasant crest, some fine peacock herl from an eye or fine black marabou to use as a replacement. The silver pheasant crest is much softer than its golden counterpart and therefore moves more naturally in the water.

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.
