Hornberg


Hornberg

Originated by Frank Hornberg in the 1920's

Hook - Mustad 9671
Thread - Black
Body - Flat silver tinsel
Underwing - Yellow calf tail, tied so as to tilt slightly upward
*Overwing - 2 mallard flank feathers, 1 each side
Cheeks - Jungle cock eyes, 2nd eye showing
Hackle - Grizzly and brown mixed - tied as a dry fly collar

* I have 2 gallon bags of teal feathers to use up. My drastically poor supply of mallard flank just couldn't do it
