Chukar and Copper
Was watching “Fly Tying – The Angler’s Art” this morning, and one of the patterns they tied was this Chukar and Copper. Funny that they didn’t have any background information on it… I Google’d it, and found that the first page returned is actually that of a good freind’s father.
A nice easy fly to tie, I’ll test it out when we go to Pierre Greys in a couple weeks! Can’t wait for that trip!
- Hook: Standard Wet Sproat, size 10,12 or 14
- Thread: Brown
- Body: Soft Copper wire, 28 to 30 gauge. Preferably oxidized
- Hackle: Dark Blue Dun Chukar Partridge body feather

I tied one up, substituting pheasant rump ( with a lot of blue in it) in place of the partridge feather. Looks pretty good I think.
Hyup, it works well on Grayling.
