Tail - Golden pheasant crest*

Butt -Yellow floss *

Ribbing - Silver tinsel

Body - Black floss

Hackle - Black

Wing - Brown turkey, brown mallard, guinea stripe**

Trout - Ray Bergman

Don Bastian Notes

* The separate tip and butt on this revised Black Dose dressing are both listed under the tip in the Trout written recipe, but the yellow floss is placed as a butt on the color plate painting.

**I sometimes tie this fly using light brown and dark brown turkey in the wing because they marry easier than brown mallard and turkey. Also, if desired, instead of trying to marry the dissimilar brown turkey and mallard, the turkey can be veiled separately above a mallard underwing as in this photo.

Hackle - None *

Wing - Guinea and purple married

Trout - Ray Bergman

Don Bastian Note

* There are only a couple wet flies in this entire collection that do not have a hackle; the Black Moose is one of them. This is curious since the hackle is normally such an integral wet fly component, even on sparsely dressed patterns.

Jenny Lind

Jenny Lind

Tail - Light purple quill sections

Ribbing - Gold tinsel

Body - Yellow floss

Hackle - Scarlet

Wing - Light purple with scarlet stripe, married

Trout - Ray Bergman

The Jenny Lind was designed by Mrs. O'Connell of Halifax, Nova Scotia, in the 1850s, and named for the famous soprano, Jenny Lind. This fly was tied on the heels of the Swedish Nightingale's triumphant tour of America, promoted by P.T. Barnum. Jenny Lind's operatic performances caused such a stir that streets, schools, dams, entire towns, and yes, a fishing fly, were named for her.

Note: There are versions of this fly that use light blue quill in place of the lavender, and furnace hackle for the throat. I very much feel that the lavender and scarlet are much more appropriate for the "ruby throated" soprano. Ray Bergman has this fly as the "Jennie Lind," but spelling aside, this is his version shown here. ~ Eric Austin
