 The Art
of Fly Tying - My First Freestyle Atlantic Salmon fly
Thread is wrapped around the hook to shape the underbody
The thread underbody was wrapped with blue and yellow silk and
French tinsels.
Feathers used include golden pheasant, Indian crow, black ostrich,
and Chinese rooster.
The wing feathers are a pair of matching macaw wing coverts.
Other feathers include Impeyan pheasant,
blue and gold starling, gadwall duck and blue-eared pheasant.
I enjoyed the challenge, realize
the tail is too long which threw off the balance and flow of
the fly.
Next time I'll match the main feather, tail and topping, before
tying anything onto the hook.
