This is a new version of the Coq-au-vin Salmon fly, using Ruard's fantastic Hare Claret Dubbing.
A Tenkara fly, also using Ruard's Hare Claret Dubbing.
This is one I decided on when I found a packet of Veniard's teal hackles this afternoon.
Hook: #14 TMC 206 BL.
Silk: Pearsall Hot Orange.
Body: Hot Orange silk, well waxed.
Thorax: Camel, sulphur orange.
Hackle: Teal feather.
Perhaps Canard à l'Orange for this one. 
From Wikipedia:-
Canard à l'Orange is a classic French dish in which the duck is roasted and served with an orange sauce. It is thought that this particular dish has its origins in the cuisine of Tuscany, Italy).
This dish, which the Tuscans called "Paparo Melarancia" was exported to France by Catherine de Medici, who married Henry II of France, decided to bring a piece of his Florence.
Catherine's arrival in France, in fact, there has been a gradual integration of the Florentine cuisine in French, hence the French decided to claim as their recipes including, of course, duck with orange in France called "caneton a l orange".

Brilliant and diverse set, Donald. Ruard inspired a lot of flies with his batch of dyed hare. It is really nice stuff to work with. Given your recent series, it's nice to see it all come together. I saw some teal hackles a bit ago and thought they would be interesting as a soft-hackle. Nice set. and yeah, you're making me hungry too. No French cuisine in my near future I'm afraid.
