flytire 0 Report post Posted April 3 Campbell's Fancy Hook - Wet fly Thread - Black Tail - Light ginger hackle barbs Body - Flat gold tinsel Hackle - Light ginger tied on as a collar and tied back and down Wings - Barred teal barbs tied over the body Charles Campbell of Wall Street, New York, a lifelong member of the Beaverkill Trout Club, is the person from whom this fly got its name. Campbell was an old friend and customer of Reuben Cross. The Campbell's Fancy at one time was rated high on the Beaverkill for about two weeks around the first part of May, and curiously enough, nothing else would take its place.

Anyway, I had two Polish quills left and this was the only fly I finished since I broke the second one. I’ll have to get some more and try again. Poopdeck, that is a beauty. I usually buy the dyed peacock herls on the stem and use my thumb nail to strip 'em. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This led to several failed wings and a moderate amount of swearing.Didn’t want the barbs to go to waste and tied a mixed wing version real quick. Look forward to fishing this one. hook: #2 low water salmon tip: silver oval tag: gold floss tail: golden pheasant crest butt: ostrich body: 1/3 gold, 2/3 green Angola rib: silver oval throat: yellow Schlappen collar tied down wing: mixed ; red, yellow, green, natural ozark Turkey and golden pheasant cheek: jungle cock horns: blue and gold macaw Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
