#86 Dusty Smelt - Darren MacEachern

Tied by: Darren MacEachern
Originated by: Don Wilson
Sources: Streamer Fly Tying and Fishing - Wilson Pg. 25

Hook: 3907b #4
Thread: White
Tag: Silver flat tinsel
Body: White floss
Belly: White bucktail
Wing: 2 blue hackle flanked by grizzly hackles
Shoulder: Mallard flank
Topping: Peacock herl
Eyes: Jungle cock
Head: Black

Notes: Don designed the streamer as a gradient pattern to imitate the blue phase of the smelt. The fly works well as both a casting streamer or a trolling streamer tied in larger sizes. I am a fan of the dark peacock herl topping, and while they are wet, they behave quite well, but while dry, they can look quite unruly. I use finer herl from eye sticks and tie it with the natural curve of the feather cupping the shape of the hackle.

The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
