Salmon/Steelhead fly swap update
I presume it's still due to you on Nov 21?
I'm having trouble with the name of my fly. I bought the original at Kaufmann's in Bellevue, and it's a lot like a Freight Train, not a Signal Light, but not quite that either. Tail: purple hackle fibers Body: rear 1/3 orange, middle 1/3 red, front 1/3 Purple Rib: Oval tinsel Hackle: Purple Wing: Pearl Crystal Flash Head: Black Freight train variation is my best guess, anybody know?

Chas Chas, Got curious. Kaufmann's 2003 print catalog shows 4 Freight Train patterns. (page 121) What you describe looks similar to their Krystal Flash Freight Train. Proportions between their regular Freight Train and Kyrstal Flash version are inconsistent in their catalog. Pic of the Krystal Flash version also makes it difficult to differentiate between orange and red on the back portion of the body, but my eyes convinced me it was there. They are using chenille for the front portion of the body. (you just mentioned purple so don't know what you are using) Pics of both are also on their website. http://www.kman.com DaveMohnsen Denver |

I also couldn't find the original, and now I suspect this variation I'm using is a result of my poor memory. I'm going to stick with my variation since it works for me(and I've already tied 4 of them for the swap). I guess I should call it something like BFT for ******* Freight Train.

That's about the same recipe as the "Freight Train, Krystal Flash" in Fly Patterns of Umpqua Feather Merchants except: the front 1/3 of their body is black their wing is pearl, blue and purple Krystal Flash -- Charlie... |
