Originated by: Jeff Smith
Hook: Mustad 94720 #4
Thread: Black 70 denier
Tag: Gold oval tinsel
Tail: Golden pheasant crest
Body: Black woolly bugger chenille
Throat: Yellow fishair
Underwing: Chartreuse holographic flash
Wing: 4 black saddle hackles flanked by hook length badger hackle
Head: Black
Notes: This is a slender dark fly, perfect for evenings on Alberta's trophy trout potholes. Jeff was inspired to tie the pattern while fishing a typical hot southern Alberta summer evening. Thunder storms with lots of dark cloud and lightning are a common sight. Jeff seen one boiling up, and the mix of black clouds, lightning and swirling winds culminated in this pattern, the Prairie Thunder.

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.
