#44-2013 Scott Ancient - Scott Murdock #44-2013 Scott Ancient - Scott Murdock

Tied by: Scott Murdock
Originated by: Scott Murdock

Hook: Daiichi Alec Jackson #3/0
Thread: Black 8/0
Tag: Gold oval tinsel
Body: Green floss
Rib: Orange floss edged by gold and silver oval tinsel
Throat: Peacock herl, white bucktail and golden pheasant crest
Wing: Green bucktail under dark blue bucktail
Collar: Guinea fowl
Head: Black

Notes: Scott developed the fly by pulling colors from a version of the Scott tartan called the Scott Green Ancient. The tartan is primarily green with a heavy influence of blue with a bit of yellow, orange , black a white crossed in. The Scott clan was known to be a powerful Border Clan who quarreled regularly with their neighbors. Hopes are that the tradition continues once the fly is face to face with some feisty salmonids.

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.
