Inspired both by the hooks that I recently acquired, as much as by the interesting feathers I found on a pair of Silver Pheasant skins I have, I just had to do something. Here are the results so far.
The first pattern is a retake on the old favourite The Blacknose Dace, originally by Art Flick.
Blacknose Dace
Hook: Mustad 3298 Chestertown size 9
Tail: red swan
Body: silver tinsel ribbed with fine silver twist
Throat: ginger hackle
Wing: two pairs dark furnace hackle with silver pheasant flank over
The second pattern is a new one of my own creation.
The Wind among the Stars
Hook: Mustad 3298 Chestertown size 9
Tail: Vulturine guinea wing secondary
Body: 2/3 silver tinsel, 1/3 dark purple silk, ribbed with silver tinsel and fine silver twist
Throat: Vulturine guinea wing secondary
Wing: Vulturine guinea throat, Vulturine guinea shoulder, silver pheasant flank over
I am thinking of other ideas for these hooks. I have roughly 600 or so of them. Very nice blind eye hooks they are!
