The Pelican

Fly: Rob Denson, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann

Hook: Kamasan B110/100 size 10/12
Body: Glo brite floss No.11 'Phosphor Yellow'
Thorax 'blood': A spot of red marker pen on the floss behind the eye before applying the Sally
Coat 1: Clear
Coat 2: Pale red (very light stain from red marker pen)
Coat 3: Darker red

Note: With the red stained Sally, concentrate these coats toward the head/thorax end, this gives the graduation in colour. Apply the lighter red to the whole fly first, then concentrate the darker stain around the head/thorax.
