Started this one on tuesday night, finished it yesterday.
First photo the fly has had one coat of cellire, last photo, the head is unfinished.
Hook is an antique Allcock 2811 Size 2 8XL, just like Carrie Stevens used to tie her flies, in hand! I only wish i'd had larger Silver pheasant for the cheeks, so I"ll likely strip the hook and retie the fly again when I get a new silver skin
Eunan
Head finished with one coat of cellire
Raw materials
Body done, next wind the tag and rib
Finished
Prior to moving on, I preformed the wings, a la Stevens
Herl and Bucktail added
GP crest throat
GP Crest underwing
Wings mounted and head finished, with orange band
A gray ghost i tied in the vise last year, including a white hackle throat.
