It sounds like you’re describing a specific type of salmon fly—likely a streamer pattern tied with yellow gold tinsel and featuring Jungle Cock eyes. Here’s a breakdown of the components you mentioned:
Fly Details:
– Type: Streamer (likely for Atlantic or Pacific salmon, steelhead, or large trout)
– Body: 6 strands of yellow gold tinsel (possibly flat or oval tinsel for flash)
– Wing/Topping: Jungle Cock eyes (a classic, high-quality feather used in traditional salmon flies)
– Brand/Hook: Umpqua (a well-known fly-tying supplier)
– Size: 2 hook (a medium-large size, good for salmon/steelhead)
Possible Patterns This Could Resemble:
1. Golden Pheasant-based Streamer (if it includes JC eyes and gold tinsel)
2. Black & Gold Variant (if paired with black hackle or wing)
3. General Attractor Streamer (designed for flash and movement)
Best Uses:
– Atlantic Salmon (classic JC-eyed flies are popular in Scandinavia & Canada)
– Steelhead (bright gold tinsel attracts fish in stained water)
– Sea Trout (Jungle Cock is a traditional material)
