The 2 Tone Alaskabou Salmon Fly
A very simple, but impressive looking salmon fly. Try tying this in a few different
color combinations to produce some results. A pink and orange varient is a must on any
salmon trip..
- Mustad Salmon hook
- Blue and purple dubbing
- Rainbow flash
- Blue wet hackle
- Fire orange or red 6/0 Uni-thread
Tie on your thread at the head of the hook, and lay down a base of thread. Cover the open end of the eye with your wraps.
Add the first color of marabou. Make sure not to crowd the tail and leave enough room to the application of the second color.
Tie in your second color of marabou. Trim the excess marabou, and apply a couple wraps to secure the loose ends.
Take a few strands of crystal flash, and tie it at both sides of the fly. Prepare a blue wet hackle feather, and tie it in at the head.
Wrap the hackle at the head to create a collar. Trim off any excess materials, and add a whip finish and cement to the head of the fly.
