Silver Knight Streamer

Silver Knight Streamer 

Hook - Mustad Viking 79580 No.6 

Thread - Black

Tail - Golden pheasant tippets

Rear Half of Body - Flat silver tinsel 

Front Half of Body - Red wool 

Rib - Flat silver tinsel 

Hackle - Black  

Wing - Bronze mallard flank feather

This classic Scottish pattern is basically the same fly as the Peter Ross, with the replacement of the teal wing with one of the barred bronze mallard flank feather. The fly is closely related to the Teal and Red. It is derived from a centuries old pattern known as Franck’s Glittering Fly. The pattern, tied in various sizes, imitates small minnows, and is effective on all trout species.
