Piccaso Fly Pattern

Hook: Gaelic Supreme Mike Martinek Rangeley streamer hook #2 8xl
Thread: Black FWN
Tag: Silver embossed tinsel
Tail: Black schlappen
Body: Mixed UNI-yarn, black, brown and khaki
Rib: Silver embossed tinsel
Belly: White bucktail
Throat: Pink hackle fibers
Wing: 2 black hackles flanked by white hackle flanked by light Coq de Leon
Eye: Jungle cock nail
Head: Black

Notes: The pattern is a tribute to a cat named Piccaso that passed away in 2015. The colors in the pattern reflect the colors she had in her coat, and of course the pink throat is tied for her nose. Over the years, she had contributed to several dubbing mixes which were tied into nymph patterns. These flies caught a good deal of Arctic grayling and trout which she was offered a share.

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.
