Chameleon


Chameleon

Hook - Single salmon

Tag - Oval silver tinsel

Rib - Oval silver tinsel

Body - Back wool or floss, on one side a strip of wide, flat silver tinsel

Wing - Black quill segment on one side, yellow quill segment on the other side

Throat - Black hen hackle on one side, yellow on the other

The idea for this fly was hatched in Sweden by Zsigmond Kovacs as a way of showing the fish a light and dark colored fly at the same time. As the fly approaches the fish on the swing, he will see one color of the fly. When the fly passes the fish, it will see a different color of the fly. Hopefully one of the colors will trigger a strike.
