Tail (eyes)	Golden pheasant crest cut to a “V”
Rib	Medium oval, gold tinsel

**The purpose of the marabou is to help hold the wings (shellback) in place when being fished.

Lady Prawn, Orange was designed and tied by Contributing Fly Tyer John Wood. Take a look at his contributor page, The Flies of John Wood, to see many more of his flies.

John's Notes: This pattern is a combination of two standards in steelhead fishing, the Lady Caroline and the General practitioner. My goal was to create something effective and easy to tie.
