"Benchill" - First In A While

[SalarMan 0]

Shaking off a little rust by tying my first in a while. I took a slightly different approach to the wing since the pattern calls for the main wing to be a veil over the back to back tippets as per the Pryce-Tannatt version. The fly finished and mounted .

 

Tag: Gold Tinsel
Tail: A topping and the tip of a golden pheasant breast feather
Butt: Black ostrich herl
Body: Orange, scarlet, claret and pale blue seal's fur
Ribs: Flat silver tinsel and silver lace
Main wing: A pair of tippets back to back veiled with peacock wing,
                    scarlet and blue swan golden pheasant tail and bustard
                    with a topping over all
Cheeks: Speckled Gallina wing strips with Jungle cock over them

Nice tying! What hook is that on? Great shape to it.

The hook is a Ronn Lucas, Sr. 3/0 Noble S model.
