Golden Doctor
Tail - Scarlet, yellow, green, married
Body - Gold tinsel
Hackle - Claret
Wing - Gray mallard** with narrow strip of married blue and red over each side*
Trout - Ray Bergman
Don Bastian Notes
* The wing recipe originally was written simply as ‘gray mallard, blue, red.’ It has been amended here to accurately reflect the color plate painting and the structure of the wing. Goose shoulder works best for the red and blue stripe overlay because its curvature (top side out) follows the concave shape of the gray mallard flank, but duck wing quill could also be used, curving either in or out depending on your preference.

**My gray mallard supply is pretty drastic in quality. I substituted it with teal.

Tried another hobo trailer type fly I’d been thinking about. I think it’ll look good once wet and swimming, but these sure are tough to pose in the vise for pics.
The body this time is a spectrum of angora colors from pearl to dark red and I topped it with a couple red golden pheasant feathers and KF.
