A Red Fox Trout Spey fly tied on an older Mustad hook
Using Fox body hair not Squirrel, I tend to also tie these small/light for the hook used with the tail extending just past the hook bend much like a low water salmon or steelhead fly
Mustad 3658 B #10
Tail: Red Fox
Body: Mink underfur dubbing
Thorax: Peacock herl
Ribbing: Fine copper tinsel
Hackle: 2 turns Red Fox fur tips in composite loop with Mink underfur dubbing
Danville red 6/0 thread
Be well,
Bob

Agreed. Very seductive pattern. I love the color combination and the style elements.
Downright stunning!
PS - Copper is the perfect color choice, imo.

Bob,
In total agreement with everyone above! I like the body construction and the way you explained it! (small fly on a bigger hook - relatively speaking!). That is super! The pattern appears (due to your excellent tying) classical as if it were jumping off the pages of some ancient manuscript!
Give us more to feed upon!
