Originated by: Peter Dube
Hook: Partridge CS15 #4
Thread: Black 8/0
Tip: Silver oval tinsel
Tail: Jungle cock nail
Butt: Ostrich herl
Body: Silver embossed tinsel
Rib: Silver oval tinsel
Belly: White bucktail
Wing: Black crystal flash then black bucktail
Shoulder: Teal flank
Eye: Jungle cock nail
Head: Black with a red band
Notes: The Silver Rider found it's genesis as a salmon iron meant for tagging Atlantic salmon in the storied Restigouche River. Dwayne took some liberties with the design, stretching out the body, adding a hint of flash in the wing and adding an elegant touch to the fly with the jungle cock nail tail.

Very nice work here. I love the overall fly, and choice of materials too.
