Claret & Gold Spey

[speyman]

Here is a new pattern I developed based on the techniques used in the Autumns on the Spey patterns but using a new Antique Yellow color I just finished. The combination of copper and gold is hard for a Steelhead to resist. Of course the Golden Pheasant Tail wing is also hard to resist.

Speyman,

Absolutely drop dead beautiful flies (this thread and the other). Are you dying your own spey hackle? Whaht feathers are you using? Makes me want to get back to the bench. Very nice indeed.
