Barbara Cotton Smelt Imitation Hook - 6xl - 8xl streamer Thread - Black Tail - Hot pink rabbit fur Tag - Red thread Underbody - Pearl braid, wrapped Body - Small silver mylar piping Throat - Golden pheasant crest Topping - 6 strands of peacock herl Cheek - Large jungle cock eyes Notes: Originated by Kenneth Welch of Concord, New Hampshire. This fly was named for Mrs Barbara Cotton of Laconia who, with her husband Mert, has operated the Opechee Trading Post for 50 years. The fly was the first-place entry in a fly-tying competition sponsored by the New Hampshire Flyfishers' Association in 1995. Variation: Not having every recipe item on hand, I used pink calf tail, silver holographic piping and yellow hackle for the original recipe items.

Add black beads to your hook Tie on black thread and begin securing the the beads in the position you want them to be in. NOTE: You may also use crazy glue in place of tying thread to hold the beads in position on the hook. Beads in position. Trim the thread and coat the beads with epoxy or one of the UV curing acrylic goo's. If you are using one of the goo's that remain tacky after drying, overcoat the goo with Sally Hansen Hard as Nails fingernail polish. Reattach the thread and tie in a black hackle. Wrap the hackle forward and tie off. Trim off the tying thread.
