hook:14 hayabusa
thread:black
hackle:grizzly hen
body:silver mylar tinsel
ribed and torax:silver wire with pink dubbing, wrapped

Good looking bug.

Question - am I understanding correct that the pink dubbing is twisted around the silver wire, then wrapped?

Cheers,
Hans W

Between the two wires and wrapped,I wrote to the wire twice.

Very nicely tied. It is a little too pink for most of our fish but the steelhead would go for it. I need to experiment with the wire brushes for steelhead patterns.

This is a great effect, and I would be surprised it the hot pink didn't catch the eye of a few trout here as well. The tinsel beneath the silver wire could not drift by without being noticed. I like these tapered dubbed wire bodies. Very nice.

I like it.
At certain times of the year, in certain waters I am sure this would be readily snapped up by trout as a mistaken egg pattern and I believe it may be a hit with some warm water species as well.
Beautifully tied and well photographed.

Thanks for watching and comments. I'm tied for grayling, we'll see ...

Excellent fly! Lovely construction. I think this would also attract steelhead, in larger sizes.

Cicvara,
Wow! I like it alot! You did a wonderful job shaping and sculpting this beauty. The grizzly hackle really blends well with the rest of the fly. I enjoy your work!
