Gold-Green Fly
as per Knox
|
| | Hook: | Partridge Single Wilson (Lightweight) #4.
| | Rib: | 5 turns of orange silk floss,
with medium flat gold tinsel in between,
and fine gold oval as a counter-rib.
| | Body: | olive Berlin wool.
| | Hackle: | natural reddish brown Spey cock substitute, tied in at the front.
by the tip, leading the flat gold tinsel.
| | Wing: | bronze mallard, tented and very low, horizontal style.
| | Head: | brown.
| | Note: | A classic Spey River fly.
The brown thread in the head is my own embellishment,
as I found the black thread on the black hook
caused the head to get lost in it all.
The classic color for the head is black.
