Variations on a theme.
Here are a couple of variations, that I just posted on the Flymph forum,
they were quite well received.
I think I prefer the first, the sea-trout fly.
I was 'Flying High', my mp3 player was on Handel Piano Sonatas and
then on Art Tatum Group Masterpieces.
Coq-au-vin
Sea-trout version
Hook: Partridge YK12ST #8.
Thread: Uni 6/0 wine.
Body: Wine wire small.
Tag & Rib: Silver wire.
Thorax: Claret Antron Dub.
Hackle: C.d.L. Speckled hen.
Coq-au-vin
Salmon version
Hook: #4 low water salmon.
Thread: Uni 6/0 wine.
Tail: C.d.L. Hen fibres.
Tag & Rib: Silver wire.
Body: Claret Antron dub.
Thorax: As body + fluo red seal?s fur.
Hackle: C.d.L. Speckled hen.
I think a rib of silver oval tinsel would have been better on the salmon fly
