Syd Glasso is considered by many to be the father of the steelhead spey fly. His flies were beautiful and elegant yet simple in there construction. I’m not sure about the particulars of this fly but the name would suggest Glasso had a sense of hummer. Courtesan is the Italian word for an upper class prostitute. Hook: Up eye salmon hook. Tag: Flat silver tinsel. Rib: Oval silver tinsel. Body: Rear 2/3: hot orange floss; front 1/3: hot orange goat dubbing. Body hackle: Long and webby light brown hackle. Wing: Four hot orange hackle tips. Head: Red.
