Platinum Blonde (Brooks)
Tied by William Lovelace

Name	Platinum Blonde
Category	Saltwater
Hook	Mustad 34007 #2
Thread	Fine Clear Mono
Tail	White Bucktail
Body	Flat Silver Tinsel
Wing	White Bucktail

Platinum Blonde was tied by Contributing Fly Tyer William Lovelace.   See many more of his flies at his page on this site, The Flies of William Lovelace.

Bill's Notes: This is the Joe Brooks pattern that started it all. This is tied in the original Brooks high wing style that he thought gave it a breathing action in the water while it is stripped.
