tompa 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2007 Hi all! Some years ago Hywel posted a pattern called Olive Chieftain. Well I translated it into my own needs, a subtle spey fly with a bright "biting spot" for the times when the salmon is playing "hard to get". I just have to work on my winging skills for spey wings with mallard. I want to take theese bad boys to Orkla in at least 3 different sizes. This is a size 2 Partridge Bartleet.

Ron Eagle Elk 0 Report post Posted April 10, 2007 Nice Fly. Looks like it would entice a steelhead or three also. Your Mallard wings look good to me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joelst 0 Report post Posted April 10, 2007 Beautiful fly!! I love the subtle color changes. Wing looks fine to me. Much too nice to fish. would i be asking too much to have you list the dressing? i have a real soft spot in my heart for spey flies.this one makes me want to start tying them again. haven't for about a year. been tying trout and bass and bluegill flies for this summer.

Fly_guy_stu 0 Report post Posted April 10, 2007 Very nice tie! I've been tempted to try spey style dressings but I have little faith in singe hooks I must give it a go some time. stu Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I might even try to copy it Regards Jens Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
