Orange n Yellow Blended Flamethrower

[Mofisher_2008]

This is a fly I tied up after seeing a tube fly tied by Robert Gillespie, where the hackles were tied in together, rather than the usual orange over yellow or vice versa.
This is a technique that is often used in the tying of Irish Lough flies, especially when palmering the bodies, but its not something you see that often in salmon flies.

Here are a few pics





I have a few variants of this in mind, including a black front wing, as in Jimthefish's Black Bear Flamethrower, which I think will give the fly a bit more contrast. Will post the results when I get to the fly tying bench.
