Orange Heron

One of the most famous Syd Glasso patterns that he used especially for winter Steelhead in the Pacific Northwest. I use featherwinged streamers quite a lot for Trout so I really like the idea of using them on salmonflies too. The trick is not to tie the wing flat on top of the hook but to tie the feathers a bit on the sides to form a wider wing. It will have more movement in water and lift the hook better in the current. The oval rib is tied over the hackle which is wound on the opposite direction to make it much sturdier.

These flies are tied to order so estimate a 2-4 weeks tying time depending on our order queue.
