The Logie - a strip wing Atlantic Salmon fly

[Alberto]

This is one of my first attempts at Atlantic salmon flies, I hope to post more as I get comfortable with the techniques. Fly came out nice but it took many tries to set the wings so they would match up to the tail the way I wanted them to.



The Logie
Hook: Salmon, size 6
Thread: White for the body, black for the head
Tag: Flat silver tinsel
Tail: Golden pheasant crest
Body: yellow floss in the back half, red floss in the front half
Rib: Silver oval tinsel
Throat: Light blue hackle
Wing: Yellow goose shoulder
Topping: Bronze Mallard (I did not have any in hand so I omitted it)

Enjoy,

Alberto

Well, the time spent on wing set was well worth it....about perfect. Any idea about the fly name origin?
