#168 Canary - Darren MacEachernTied by: Darren MacEachern
Originated by: Carrie Stevens
Sources: Carrie G. Stevens: Maker of Rangeley Favorite Trout and Salmon Flies - Hilyard Pg. 128-129
Hook: Partridge CS15 #2
Thread: White flat waxed nylon (FWN)
Tag: Silver tinsel
Tail: Black hackle fibers
Body: Silver tinsel
Belly: Yellow bucktail
Throat: Yellow hackle fibers
Wing: 6 yellow hackles
Cheek: Jungle cock
Head: Black (optional orange band)
Notes: Another Carrie Stevens simple pattern. There also exists a Canary Custom pattern which loses the tail and substitutes the all silver body with an orange floss body ribbed with silver tinsel. This is a simple streamer to tie as these things go, and the only thing to keep an eye on is the tail. Tying the tail can cause a bit of a bump in the body, but by adding a bit extra material along the top of the hook shank. This will keep the underbody uniform along the length of the shank.

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.
