Thread: Black
Tag: Oval gold tinsel
Body: Red floss
Ribbing: Oval gold tinsel

Notes: The Fire Fly looks quite similar to a streak of flame slipping through the storied Atlantic salmon waters of the east coast. Louis Melanson was a WWII vet and served with the Royal Canadian Corps of Signals (RCCS). He was an active member of the Nepisiguit Salmon Association and spent many hours tying flies for friends, family and himself of course.

Since you got this far …
The GFF money box
… I have a small favor to ask.
Long story short
Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.
Long story longer
The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.

Thank you Jim,
This fly was selected for this project for a couple of reasons.
I found the color stunning and very simplistic.
I also selected this because Louis Melanson and I both take pleasure in tying flies for others and our own personal use. Thank you for your comment it is greatly appreciated.
