A rather involved egg pattern, this fly is one that is popular for Pacific salmon.
|
Step By Step:
|
Start thread and attach gold tinsel just before the bend. Make a few wraps of the tinsel down the bend and wrap back to the tie-in point. Cut off excess tinsel.
|
Tie in a golden pheasant crest feather with the curved side facing back as shown.
|
Strip a small amount of the fuzz from a piece of hot orange chenille to expose the thread it is braided with.
|
Attach the chenille by tying it in by the exposed thread, and make a small ball to form the rear egg.
|
Attach more gold tinsel and wrap it forward to the point shown. Tie off and remove the excess tinsel.
|
Repeat step 4 to make the front egg. Tie in the hackle feather by the tip.
|
Make a few folded wraps of the hackle to form the collar, tie off feather and trim the excess.
|
Tie in the white marabou feather just back from the eye so that the wing extends to the pheasant crest.
|
Whip finish and cement head.
