    Thanks guys. Yes, Texfly, it will be going to Streamers 365. I am going to try to make a better one first though.

    Very nice streamer Kelkay.
    I don't recognize the cheek feather (or shoulder) not sure what you all call it there lol. I would like to tie some, and try it around here.

    Thanks
    Mark

    Here you go. I would definitely coat the tinsel with nail polish. (if you are gonna fish them) You may even want to cover the floss too. I intentionally put the floss up in the front of the fly, to help prevent fish teeth from ripping it.


    David Mac recipe:
    Hook-Mustad L87 size 2 (any streamer hook of your choice)
    Tail- Peacock Swords
    Tag-Flat Silver Mylar Tinsel
    Body-Copper Flat Mylar Tinsel (back half, Soldier Blue floss front half by eye (or light blue sub)
    Rib-Oval Silver Tinsel
    Throat-Chartreuse Schlappen or hackle fibers
    Wing-Olive, Chartreuse, Silver Doctor Blue hackle
    Shoulder- Lady Amherst Pheasant gold tipped emerald body feather
    Eye- Jungle Cock (JC)
