MP's Buckwing Speydace

This is totally a fusion fly; a combination of
the Black Nose Dace Streamer and the Spey Style. The use of schlappen
will add some movement to the pattern while a simplified Black Nose
Dace color scheme gives great potential. I've never liked the red
coloration in the Black Nose Dace pattern so I've omitted it. Tie
in the Hackle first, then add the wing (this causes the grey schlappen
to be pushed down underneath the white bucktail rather than also
coming up over the "top" of the fly like a collar).

Body - Flat Silver Tinsel
