The Connecticut River Shad Fly- Variation #4

This shad fly is part of The Pfeiffer Collection.

This is the fourth variation of the Connecticut River Shad fly. This fly trades in its wing for a throat, and is a fairly traditional looking wetfly. This shad fly is super simple to tie, and the fact that you can tie several using one neck hackle makes it a winner to me.

The Connecticut River Shad Fly- Variation #4 Pattern:

Hook: Size 2-4
Thread: Fire Orange 6/0 Uni-Thread
Body: Gold Tinsel
Throat: Orange Barbs from a Neck Hackle
