Fell in love with these featherwinged flies on my trip to PNW. Next trip will hopefully be better timed for steelhead. Anyway it was great to meet some guys from this forum too at ASFI.

Timo.

That is just the best looking Orange heron I have ever seen. Bravo!
I think the originator of that pattern would be very pleased

Cheers.

If I had one of those I'd hook a fish with it, release it and put it up in my fly tying room.
Great Fly wow

Beautiful fly. Pardon my ignorance but what are the materials for the hackle and the wing?

Thank you all!

You can see the full pattern here

But to give you a short reply the wing is just regular hackle feathers from a chinese cock neck (from the sides so they curve). The hackle is heron but you can use Blue Eared Pheasant or bleached Goose or similar "spey hackle" for the same effect.
