Tied by: Bob Veverka
Originated by: Bob Veverka
Hook: Allcock 1810 8xl, #1
Body: Silver flat tinsel
Throat: Red calf tail tied about half then a golden pheasant crest curving upward
Underwing: Light purple bucktail tied 1/2 inch past bend
Wing: Four light dun gray saddle hackles tied 1/2 inch past bend
Topping: Silver pheasant crest (Peacock herl) optional
Shoulder: Pintail flank
Cheek: Jungle cock
Notes: This is a nice light phase smelt imitation with some purple / lavender hues. The silver pheasant crest topping is optional, but I feel that it really defines the pattern. The pattern listed above is as tied on the streamer I have, but I have found other recipes for this streamer, suggesting that there was perhaps some inconstancy in the pattern. Below is one other version I found.

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.
Long story longer
The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
