High water keeps me home, but not away. Tied this up tonight. I'll swing it someday I think.

Spade, I threw the tag away but I think its closer to a #2. Little big but easier to tie.
On the fly, throax is purple chenille. Little ball of it in there to flare the wings. Don't know all the materials as I got them from my father in laws birds but here goes:
Tail: golden pheasant
tag: gold tinsel
body: purple floss
rib: red copper wire
throat: tips of a feather from a golden pheasant
wing: squirrel tail
thorax: purple chenille
(not sure the name) eyes (little feather on the side): quail
And I tried some fancy on the head (i'm not great at nice looking heads yet) there is a reflective blue collar on the black thread head.
Sally hansen 'clear as nails' for the shiny head.

That's a nice looking fly.Looks pretty fishy to me.

Fishing is always good but catching is a different story

I've only tied big winter flies on shanks. Now I have to learn some basic patterns on hooks. That look like a good one.

I need to get some shanks myself. Im trying the squidro and they might work well on them.
