  4. Scarlet Ibis Hook - Wet fly Thread - Red Tip - Flat gold tinsel Tail - Narrow section of red duck quill segments Ribbing - Flat gold tinsel Body - Red floss Hackle - Scarlet red tied on as a collar and tied back and down Wings - Red duck quill section tied on edge over the body Authors Note As far as I can determine, this is an American pattern, however, there are nine other patterns that belong to the Ibis family. The only other one of any significance is the Silver Ibis, which has a flat silver tinsel body and is otherwise tied the same as the Scarlet Ibis. Sometimes the Scarlet Ibis is referred to as the Red Ibis. There is a pattern called the Cardinal that is tied the same except with all fluorescent red materials.
