#347 Copper Lake - Monte Smith

Tied by: Monte Smith
Originated by: Monte Smith

Hook: Mustad 94720, #2
Ribs: Flat copper tinsel; small oval copper tinsel counter-wrapped
Body: Flat green tinsel
Belly: Grey fox
Underwing: Peacock herls covered with long golden pheasant crest
Wing: Four gray saddle hackles
Shoulder: Silver pheasant
Cheek: Jungle cock
Throat #1: Short golden pheasant crest

Notes: A tribute fly to one of my fishing places forever seared into my memory. A classic "Ghost" style design with a little extra fun.

Monte, excellent innovation & inspiration. I have always admired your creations. Quite artistic! The majority of you tyers out there should study Monte's flies and learn from them. I found them to be very helpful in my own tying. I know that soundsa funny coming from an old Geezer like me, but you are never too old to learn new tricks. Thanks again Monte, you young whippersnapper!

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.
