VOLCANO (Duncan Egan)

Hook - Salar 5 - 11
Thread - Black
Tail - Yellow SLF or Lite-Brite Hank
Body - Silver Holographic Tinsel
Rib - Fine Red Wire
Under Wing - Yellow under Orange bucktail ,pearl Krystal Flash on top
Top Wing - as above
Eyes - Jungle Cock
Head - Black





Wind black thread down shank of hook



Tie in yellow SLF or Lite Brite hank as tail



Tie in Silver holographic tinsel and red wire



Form tag and rib with red wire



Turn hook upside down. Yellow under orange bucktail with Krystal flash on top. Tie to just below bend of hook.



Turn Hook back over and tie in top wing . Yellow under orange bucktail with Krystal flash on top. Tie to just a bit longer than under wing



Form a neat head, ensuring you tie and secure the bucktail tight.



Add Jungle cock eyes. Try to position these along the body as when the flie gets wet this improves the fly profile.



Complete Head



Add 3 coats of varnish to head





The completed fly. Now go and catch a salmon

Tight lines all

Hi there Feroxhunter your flies sure do look good and I like the one for your dads memory its nice of you to remember him that way and it looks as though he did a good job teaching you the art of fishing well maybe if there is a place up in the sky he will be catching a lot of fish


Cheers
