Rainbow highlander Salmon fly
This fly is my own twist on the ever popular Black highlander Temple dog.
The wing features a combinatin of 7 colours for a truly spectalular look in the water.
Each layer of wing has it's own subtle sparkle and flash of angel hair, and crystal hair.
Topped off with a fluorescent yellow cone to set the wing in motion, and keep it swimming on an even keel.
