Greener Peter

[AlanB]

Unashamedly based on the traditional Green Peter. If you are going to go green then you may as well go GREEN!

Hook: Wet fly 14 - 10 Nickel finish (if you are fishing the Irish Loughs you may want it up to size 6).
Thread: UTC 70 Fl. Green.
Tag: Tying thread touch with head cement or UV resin.
Rib: Gold wire or oval.
Body: Olive green seal's fur or sub.
Hackle: (palmered): Natural read game cock.
Wing: Hen pheasant secondary rolled.
Hackle: (head) Grey partridge dyed green (f you don't have the dyed green feather trap the stem of a feather against a piece of card with a green marker pen and pull through. If you don't have partridge use one of the small outer covert feathers from your hen pheasant wing.)
Cheers,
A.

I really like the green in this fly! Beautiful work as always and thanks for added the tip on how one can add color.
