#56 Prairie Thunder - Jeff Smith

Tied by: Jeff Smith
Originated by: Jeff Smith

Hook: Mustad 94720 #4
Thread: Black 70 denier
Tag: Gold oval tinsel
Tail: Golden pheasant crest
Body: Black woolly bugger chenille
Throat: Yellow fishair
Underwing: Chartreuse holographic flash
Wing: 4 black saddle hackles flanked by hook length badger hackle
Head: Black

Notes: This is a slender dark fly, perfect for evenings on Alberta's trophy trout potholes. Jeff was inspired to tie the pattern while fishing a typical hot southern Alberta summer evening. Thunder storms with lots of dark cloud and lightning are a common sight. Jeff seen one boiling up, and the mix of black clouds, lightning and swirling winds culminated in this pattern, the Prairie Thunder.

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.
