Takes about 15 minutes for the feeling to come back to my feet when I get out of the water but that’s springtime in Montana for you.

"The Dunt" Salmon fly

Kelson's version of the pattern with a few substitutions, because I don't have some of the materials.

Tag: Oval silver tinsel and light blue silk
Tail: A topping and teal
Body: Yellow (well almost yellow), orange, and red (sub for red-claret) dubbing
Ribs: Silver oval and flat tinsel
Hackle: Gray sub'ed for black
Throat: Teal
Wings: Turkey - wrong pattern, should be darker with white tips (I need some tail feathers)
Sides: Jungle cock (the right side should be lower, more like the left side)
