This fly is a variation of the Rusty Rat and was invented by the late Poul Jorgensen. Jorgensen was a professional tier, instructor and writer. Many credit Jorgensen with starting the renaissance of classic atlantic salmon fly tying when he wrote his book on the subject “Salmon Flies: Their Character, Style, and Dressing”. This book was actually my first book on the subject. He made the fly for fishing in Iceland were blue flies are extremely productive. This is also a popular fly for displays as many people consider it to be one of the more beautiful hair wings. Hook: Up eye salmon hook Tag: Oval gold tinsel Tail: Peacock sword fibers Body: Back half Blue floss, front half Peacock herl Body Vail: Blue floss over back half of body Rib: Oval gold tinsel Wing: Grey Fox body hair Hackle: Grizzly saddle.
