Teal and Black
Fly Tying

Teal and Black

  • Hooks: Down-eyed wet fly sizes 6,8,10.12
  • Tail: Golden pheasant tippet
  • Body: Black floss
  • Rib: Fine round Silver tinsel or wire
  • Hackle: Black hen hackle
  • Wing: Well marked teal
  • Head: Black tying silk and clear varnish
  • Notes
    • Although primarily a trout fly, the Teal and Black also works favourably for sea trout in the larger sizes early in the season.
    • In low water conditions of high summer, it comes into its own as a changing pattern for the Stoats Tail.
