MP's Egg Spey

Alright, here's my spin on a pattern that we've
been seeing crop up on places like eBay! A fusion of modern materials
and the "estaz" egg into the tradtional spey pattern creates
the one example of the "Fusion Spey", my name for the
melting pot of "spey" flies that really marry the spey
style with something borrowed from another style! Most of the "egg
speys" I've seen on websites don't have a wing; I wanted a
wing here so but didn't want to roof the fly or take over the main
attractor (the "egg"), so I looked into my materials for
something I had no use for that could be applied here; The Silver
Pheasant Crest was a great match. It added that touch of metallic
sheen that natural feathers carry while keeping the hackle look
up top. I think these are going to look DYNAMITE in the water. Furthemore,
this would be an easy pattern to vary by simply switching the color
of the Ultra Wire and Krystal Chenille.
