Fall Spey

I put a big dent in knocking out my marabou pattern so now I have time to play. I love fishing orange and wanted a pattern that fishes orange but also represents fall colors.
 

 
I didnt rib the rear fly because I had something else in mind but switched gears and came up with this. The next batch will have the rib all the way through.
 
AJ 2051 sz 3 for the hook
silver tinsel tip
orange floss tag
golden pheasant crest for a tail
org dubbing with a silver rib for body
org schlappen for body hackle.
dyed black ringneck collar
golden pheasant for the wing, tented
 
 
Here is a shot of the wing
 

Quality over quantity

    Here is a tri colored strip wing. Still using the same general theme. I just used turkey for the wing. I know the head is to big and messy but it'll fish.

     My floss work was 4 **** though. Since I have the attention span of a watermelon I got off the fall theme and went for a winter pattern. Its a mix of gold, claret, black and purple. I think I should have used black for the head but oh well.
     
     You know this will turn a fish.
     
     
     
    I was putting her to sleep on another fine book and thought it would make a cool photo.

    I just got board and saw you guys spey and figured I'd try one what do you think?


    "If, when you pull a fly out you
    dont hear drums and cant smell
    chicken blood in the air, put it back
    in the box, for if it is evil you seek,
    then it can only be conjured with the
    same.

    Nice ties Swinger.

    The fall pattern would fish out west too.
