Tiger ghost wrap

Recommended Posts

I am looking for a US source for a wrap material used to tie the Tiger Ghost salmon fly. I found it at a Canadian company, but they said it wasnt available in my region. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

My pattern shows;

Tag : fine silver oval tinsel, florescent green floss, florescent orange floss

Body: Gudebrod butt wrap thread (black&white)

Rib: med oval silver tinsel

Wing: yellow white & black bucktail in that order

Cheeks: silver pheasant

 

As tied by Charlie Maul for the Matane River (Gaspe) 1980

 

This may be a variant as the original was tied with a artic fox wing, collar style hackle and jungle cock. Have seen polar bear, black bear wing. Additionally have seen the silver pheasant wound in a collar vs cheeks with or w/o jungle cock any combinations of all. But always the rod building thread body.

 

Mudhole has Prowrap tiger thread about 6.00 a spool. black and white and a few other colors or e-bay.
