Olive Spey 2
Mike Gast
|
| | Hook: | Partridge Bartleet Supreme CS10/1 #2/0.
| | Tag: | medium flat gold tinsel.
| | Rib: | fine gold oval tinsel, as a counter-rib.
| | Body: | rear 2/3 medium flat gold tinsel;
front 1/3 medium flat gold tinsel,
overdubbed with gold "fast
descent" metallic dubbing.
| | Hackle: | olive schlappen, black tipped using Blumreich's method,
tied at the front by the root, secured by the rib.
| | Collar: | guinea.
| | Wing: | bronze mallard, tented and low, horizontal style.
| | Head: | olive.
| | Note: | Olive variant of Gobin's Claret and Deep Purple.
This is my enhancement of Mike Gast's basic Olive Spey. I
added the dubbed front portion and the dark tipped hackle,
using Bob Blumreich's marker pen hackle technique.
