Friday Night Flies – Mallard & Silver
Friday Night Flies – Mallard & Silver
The Mallard & Silver was inspired by my love of classic looking salmon flies as well as Bolders Minute Minnow pattern. This is a great introduction to classic salmon style flies as is goes together very easily. I also did a Bronze Mallard version where I substituted Bronze Mallard for the tail and wing as well as a copper bead and gold holo tinsel and a gold rib. This is an awesome fly that goes together quickly and is an easy fly to fill your boxes with.
