A flashy variation of a vintage stillwater pattern; supposedly a killer in the Kamloops.


hook - Mustad 9672 #8
tail - Guinea hen
thread - Danville 6/0 black
rib - small wire copper
body - tinsel copper
throat - fox squirrel
wing - pheasant rump dyed brown
collar - peacock herl


Regards,
Scott

Doesn't that head throw off the position of the throat in your eyes?  Like the pattern, I wonder about  more of a thorax of PC herl an then the throat and then the head?

[SBPatt]

Just about all versions of Spratleys I've seen have the throat tied behind the herl collar. You could certainly modify the position if you liked.
