Caperer

Classic Wet Fly

Tied By Christian Andrews

Hook: #8

Thread: rusty brown

Body Parts: tag, body, wings, hackle 

Materials: gold tinsel, rusty brown wool, dun hackle tips, brown hen

The ingredients here are a guess from the illustration of the Caperer in Favorite Flies and Their Histories (1892) by Mary Orvis Marbury.

The wing could also be tied with duck, turkey, or goose quill.
