Teal Blue and Silver
Fly Tying

Teal Blue and Silver

  • Hooks: Down-eyed wet fly sizes 6,8,10.12
  • Tail: Golden Pheasant Tippet
  • Body: Flat silver tinsel
  • Rib: Fine round Silver tinsel or wire
  • Hackle: Teal Blue hen hackle.
  • Wing: Well marked Teal
  • Head: Black tying silk and clear varnish
  • Notes:
    • The quintessential seatrout pattern! The original pattern called for married goose slips dyed teal blue as an underwing with shoulders of well-marked teal. This combination is good in the larger sizes.
    • Often imitated, never beaten. Excellent for seatrout fresh off the tide.
