This is a modem British tube fly, used on the Spey. It is sometimes
called the Spey Tosh or plain Yellow and Black. It is used in all sizes
to over 3 in (7.5 cm). Like all good Scottish hair-wing flies, the original
was supposed to have been tied with the hair from a black dog and a golden
dog, which leads me to suspect that there must be many bald dogs in Scotland,
for it is an extremely popular fly.
Tube 1-3 in (2.5-7.5 cm).
Thread Black.
Tail None.
Body Black floss silk.
Rib Oval gold tinsel.
Hackle None.
Wing Black/yellow/black/yellow bucktail.
Head Black.

This is a tube version of the famous Akroyd, a Dee strip salmon fly
created in the late nineteenth century by Charles Akroyd of Brora. The
noticeable features of the Dee-type flies were the long, narrow single-feather
wings and the use of long heron hackles. I have used a heron hackle in
the tube dressing; long black bucktail could be used as an alternative.
Tube 1-3 in (2.5-7.5 cm). Thread Black.
Tail None.
Body Orange seal's fur followed by
black seal fur.
Rib Gold tinsel and palmered yellow
cock hackle.
Hackle Teal.
Wing Long black heron hackle fibres,
or bucktail.
Head Black. |
