Nice looking tie. It's interesting that this one and the Rusty Rat you posted earlier are so different from the patterns of the same names that I am used to seeing here.
i guess i dont understand by what you mean "used to seeing here"
i'm tying these flies directly from recipes in well established books

If you look at the first couple of lines in the above link, you'll see what I think of as a Fall Favorite. Silver tinsel body, red hackle and orange bucktail wing. I could be PNW regional, I don't know. Obviously there are different patterns with the same name.
in the book "perrault's standard dictionary of trout flies" there are 7 different recipes for the rusty rat, 6 in the salmon fly section of recipes and 1 in the streamer section. which one is the original? i wouldnt know
