Tail Black over Hot Orange Bucktail Tied Long

This pattern was developed for the Smith River area by Ed Given. I weighted this version and might have added the eyes had it not been. An alternate version of this fly called the Silversmith is tied with silver Mylar piping and optional silver bead chain eyes.
