Fly Id please?

[miliscer]

Hi Folks,



Been asked to copy this fly for a friend, it is on a S12 long shank hook (Not sure of the make - it is very fine wire with a deeper than usual gape)

Wings are orange Marabou - apparently it originally had a few streaks of yellow too? - head is red/orange.

Body appears to be a translucent tinsel of some kind?

Tail is orange antron (I think!)

Any help to identify the fly or the materials would be much appreciated (As would the origins of the fly)

Regards

Mike

Looks like someone was doing a whisky fly variant with a tail and using marabou for a wing.

Cormorant with a tail?

[flytyingguy]

Tail- Orange glo brite
Body - Silver holographic
Rib- Silver wire
Wing - Orange Marabou

Nice looking attractor pattern, sorry i cannot help you much more mate

Thanks gents.

The photo is misleading, there is no wire rib.

looks like a jaffa orange variant (fulling mill) also comes in gold head version

Hope that helps

I would have said Orange Cormorant, but they,re not usually tied with tails.

I thought that but the Jaffa doesnt have a floss tail, just marabou

orange peril (fulling mill) is the fly complete with bright yellow goose biot cheeks 100% apart from the tail

Hook :kamasan b175
Thread :utc fl orange
Body : mirage tinsel over orange thread
Wing :Orange marabou
cheeks :Fl yellow goose biots

Tail and rib optional,fine silver wire rib for durability and add a tail of marabou or glo- brite floss to match your sample, you could even varnish or bug bond the body for effect .

job done
