Peter Ross
Fly Tying

Peter Ross

  • Hook: Down-eyed wet fly sizes 6, 8, 10, 12
  • Tail: Golden pheasant tippet
  • Body: Two-thirds flat silver tinsel and one-third scarlet seal’s fur or sub
  • Rib: Fine round silver tinsel or wire
  • Hackle: Black hen hackle
  • Wing: Well marked teal
  • Head: Black tying silk and clear varnish
  • Notes
    • A pattern that anglers either love or hate. Many anglers have never caught a fish on this fly, originally devised as a variation of a Teal and Red. One possible reason is that many Peter Ross’s tied today contain Silver Mallard in the wing as opposed to Teal which, with good markings is difficult to come by.
