Nice, Scott. Have you tried a Scotch Poacher? Pretty straight forward dressing with a Pukeko style wing. I may have a pic somewhere.

Ron,
In the process right now. Don't have any pukeko feathers, but found some woodduck that's a bit darker blue; that should do.

Scott

Best you call that on a "Scott's Poacher" or at least mention it is a variation. There is no substitute for genuine Pukeko.

That's funny, Jeff.

I'm a huge fan of the Kiwi patterns like this. I first got interested in them while looking at Johnno's flies on another site many years ago.

Here's the Scotch Poacher variation I came up with. The woodduck worked okay for the wing, but it's not quite right.

The wing I'd wood duck? Amazing!
