4/0 with a big wing. The fun never ends.
Silver Doctor Recipe per T.E. Pryce-Tannatt
Tag: Silver thread and golden-yellow floss.
Tail: A topping and Blue Chatterer.
Butt: Scarlet Berlin wool.
Body: Flat silver tinsel.
Ribs: Fine oval silver tinsel.
Throat: A pale blue hackle, followed by
Widgeon.
Wings: Mixed tippet in strands with strips
of Golden Pheasant tail over;
"married" strands of scarlet, blue and yellow Swan,
Florican, Bustard, Peacock wing, and
light, mottled Turkey tail;
"married" narrow strips of Teal and barred Summer
Duck; narrow strips of brown Mallard over;
a topping over all.
Head: Scarlet Berlin wool.
Note: I omitted the mottled turkey tail and peacock wing on my fly as I didn’t have any long enough. I replaced them with Amherst pheasant tail. I’d like to call it “artistic license”, but mine has currently been suspended by the fly police.
