These are his ‘Newt Streamers’ based on the old Ace of Spades style with a Matuka style wing and refined over a number of years. Not posted in a while as, until this summer been without a decent macro lens after changing camera systems. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SBPatt 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2022 Glad you got your lens problem solved; that’s a beautiful fly. I ordered that book from a shop in the U.K. last year but they ended up being out of stock; need to look again because I love his work. Can’t wait to see more of yours.

Regards, Scott Hi Scott, George's first book was self published, not sure how easy it is to get a copy these days. Could try emailing him: [email protected]. His second book "A fine Line" is still available. Iain Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flytire 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2022 Carson Steelhead Hook - Single salmon Thread - Black Tail - Golden pheasant tippet barbs Body - Peacock herl with a red floss center band Hackle - Brown tied on as a collar and tied back and down Wing - White bucktail tied over the body, with an over wing of a small bunch of red bucktail Cheeks - Jungle cock Sumner Carson of Eureka, California, originated this pattern around 1900. His original flies had wings of married red and white duck quill sections. About 1935 this was changed to hair wings. This was a period strongly influenced by Jim Pray, when a number of patterns made the transition.
