I promised ParaAdams some Grey Ghosts for some bamboo rod maintenance. He did a great job on the wraps so I had to carry out my end of the bargain. First you glue the jungle cock to the silver pheasant cheeks....
Then you glue together the saddle hackle wings...
You glue the cheeks to the wings. When all this glue is applied the wing is supposed to move as a piece and stay parallel to the hook in a more minnow-like fashon rather than floating up above the hook.
Floss body...
Ribbing and underwings. some tyers put the peacock herl over and others put the peacock herl under the hook...
Mount the wings along the side and here's the finished product....
I tied a few extra for myself while I was at it. Hope to give them a go in the next bull trout season...
And here's a 4 inch long Grey Ghost I tied on a 1/0 Carrie Fisher Streamer Hook. Maybe I should give it to Clarkman to try for Musky.
