Teno 4
Continuing the Teno series from Erkki Vaalama we arrive at an interesting pattern and one of my personal favorites. The wing and profile again typical low and sleek as in most Scandinavian harling fly patterns of the period. I tied the wing materials on top of each other and brushed the wing thoroughly to achieve the look. There are many ways to tie the wings on these flies and here’s just one example.
Tip: Silver wire.
Tag: Yellow floss.
Tail: Golden Pheasant crest and Teal.
Butt: Black Ostrich herl.
Rib: Oval gold tinsel.
Body: Yellow and Red floss 1/4 of the shank, repeated twice.
Hackle: Black and Red.
Wing: Strands of Golden pheasant tippet, Grey Heron and Golden Pheasant tail.
Head: Black
