This is the first one of these I've tied in a while...and the reason is it is also known around here as George's nemesis. I always fight this fly for some reason, and I suspect it is because I just try too hard to make it as perfect as possible...and it comes out anything but. Oh well...maybe next time 🤞

The recipe is as follows for the Pryce-Tannatt version of this pattern.

Tag: Silver Tinsel
Tail: A topping and pair of jungle cock back to back
Butt: Black ostrich herl
Body: Pale blue silk
Ribs: Broad flat silver tinsel and silver twist
Hackle: Pale blue
Throat: Widgeon
Underwing: White tipped turkey tail
Main Wing: Teal, yellow and blue swan,
                     bustard, florican, golden pheasant tail,
                     Mallard and topping over all
Sides: Married narrow strips of pintail
            barred summer duck
Cheeks: Jungle cock
Horns: Blue and gold macaw

Looks pretty good to me.  The JC veiling is pretty slick, I’ll have to give this one a try.

That veiling isn't all that common. I've done it on the P-T version of the Dunkeld and I'm certain it appears elsewhere.

Another beauty tie George.

In the recipe I forgot to mention the fly was tied on a Ronn Lucas, Sr. 3/0 Harrison Bartleet hook.
