mikechell 0 Report post Posted December 9, 2017 I just don't have any "attraction" to those classic flies. But I do admire the skill you have in tying them, Eide. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

johnnyquahog 0 Report post Posted December 9, 2017 Beautiful work Eide. Many of the materials I recognize and some I don’t. Are the cheeks blue chatterer? What are the horns? Once you have assembled the materials how many hours to tie this one? That is art. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Once you have assembled the materials how many hours to tie this one? That is art. Cheeks are Kingfisher, don't have much chatterer to spend..... Horns are blue macaw. For a one-off like this I get and assemble as I go, so 3-3.5 hours with a coffee break Mike: Thanks Mlandry & Bimini! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flat Rock native 0 Report post Posted December 9, 2017 This is, perhaps my all-time favorite classic fly. This post takes me back about 45 years and when I first saw this pattern pictured, I thought to myself, this fly tying business is really something to consider as a hobby. Up to that point, I thought you needed paint to achieve this array of coloration. Of course, the one depicted back in my ancient memory was NOT tied or photographed with anything close to this awesome picture. Its going into my wallpaper, Thank you for posting a masterpiece work of ART. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stabgnid 0 Report post Posted December 10, 2017 Is there a hair wing version of this Fly I thought I saw one while trolling the old inter-web ??? Steve-stabgnid Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bugsy 0 Report post Posted December 10, 2017 Very nice, Eide. Is there a hair wing version of this Fly I thought I saw one while trolling the old inter-web ??? Steve-stabgnid Yes, there have been a number of hairwing conversions for Jock Scott, just as there have been for many feather wing classics. Feel free to create your own, since they are all interpretations. Joe Bates published this recipe in Atlantic Salmon Flies & Fishing in 1970. I omitted his suggested option of polar bear. Sub for Indian crow as well as chatterer. With the exception of the wing and lack of horns, the recipe closely follows the classic tie. Head: Black Tag: Silver tinsel Tail: GP crest, over which is Indian Crow, about half as long Butt: Black ostrich herl Body, rear half: Yellow floss, ribbed with flat silver tinsel Veil: GP crest or Toucan Butt: Black ostrich Body, front half: Black floss palmered with a black hackle, ribbed with flat silver Throat: Guinea fowl Wing: A tiny section of teal breast with a few hairs of brown bucktail on either side. Over this are two or three green peacock sword fibers topped with a few hairs of scarlet, yellow and blue bucktail, mixed Cheeks: Jungle cock with tips of blue chatterer over this, but not concealing the jungle cock eyes.
