Silver Doctor



Silver Doctor

Hook - Wet fly

Thread - Red

Tip - Gold tinsel and scarlet floss

Tail - Golden pheasant crest - dash of blue

Ribbing - Oval silver tinsel

Body - Silver tinsel

Hackle - Blue and guinea

Wing - Turkey over teal over blue over yellow

Trout - Ray Bergman

I cheated. As hard as I tried, I just couldn't get turkey to marry teal. 
So, I just used the teal as a side feather.

They nice Norm. Cheat or not, this fly just pops. Many old timers had to have the "Silver Doctor". This was the fly for bigger fish. Sometimes wonder how they got the colors. Again they nice. Karl
