EDIT: Welcome Stumblers! You might be interested in the Free Hi Definition Downloads we are giving away. There are three tyers we are highlighting on our store for our 101st post!

Until relatively recently Rocky was a inveterate cowboy. A few years ago an injury sidelined him and he eventually found his way to fly tying to pass the time. He's since become an incredible fly tyer and is an officer of the Central Oregon Fly Tyers Guild.

Recipe:

• Tag: Silver twist
• Tail: Ted breast feather from the golden pheasant
• Body: Yellow, light blue, and scarlet seal's fur
• Ribs: Silver lace and silver tinsel
• Hackle: Gray eagle, from blue fur ( substitute marabou)
• Throat: Widgeon ( teal for large patterns)
• Wings: Two strips of brown mottled turkey, with black bars and white points
