Two years ago while in BC I picked up a fly called the Doc Spratley. It was a great fly and when I returned home I had all intentions of tying up a bunch but as luck would have it a client lost it in a log on a drift boat trip. So now I sit at the vise trying to remember what the darned thing looked like!
Any Help?

Thanks,

Rick

hook : nymph
tail : guinea hen
body : wool or floss
rib : flat small silver mylar tinsel
throat : guinea hen
wing : pheasant tail fibers
head : peacock herl

On this one I tied, I used a yellow floss body - the guinea hen I used is dyed yellow. The original calls for a black body and black and white Guinea hen. You can tie this in any number of colors. Tight lines, Alec
