GP Black and Silver (variant) - but for Grilse

[drpatrickt]

Hi All,

I've been looking at some some Sea Trout flies - again, saw this in T&S (May 2011) and modified - but reckon I'd use this as an alternative for a Silver Stoat for Grilse.



Thread: Uni 8
Hook: Black Salar 13
Tag: Small oval silver
Tail: Amherst Pheasant orange - but you can use the feathers on your GP head (because there are always some on there)
Body: Mylar silver tinsel then into seal's fur (half and half - to be honest on a Salar - I am thinking it's not worth it and complicates things)
Hackle: Black hen or Schlappen
Throat: Few white/black flecked feathers from Guinea fowl (natural - blue would be good)
Bling: 2 strands Black Krystal flash
Over-wing: Black Artic fox - but pull all the guard hairs out so it's the soft mobile hairs
JC
Massive heed - job done! (I haven't varnished these ones properly yet)

Regards,

Patrick

That's really nice I might try it with a red head
