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.

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.
