This was the fly of the month for the NW guild last month so I saw a few of them around the web and decided to give it a go.  
 

The Smith

Tag: Silver twist and yellow silk.
Tail: A topping and Indian Crow.
Butt: A yellow hackle.
Body: In three equal sections of silver tinsel :
– No. 1, butted with a red hackle;
– No. 2, with a light blue hackle;
– No. 3 (or throat), Gallina. 
Wing: Two sword feathers of Golden Pheasant*, grey mottled Turkey, Bustard, Golden Pheasant tail, Swan dyed blue, yellow, and red; and a topping.
Sides: Jungle Cock.

*my spears were all too large so I subbed a burnt orange hackle then realized I was looking at Amherst spears lol. 
 

some time I forget the Horns, this time I added them by accident. I would take them off but they set so nicely I’m inclined to leave them.
