My own take on the 'Posh Tosh'. It has proved pretty decent for me in falling water that has lost colour after a spate. It is primarly aimed as a salmon pattern but I have taken sea trout with it. The materials are of course subject to your own choice. Personally I do like the stuff that I have used and feel that the effect is at least passable.
Tying Materials
Hook: Partridge Wilson Double Size 8.
Thread: White.
Body: Storm Thunder Line nylon monofilament.
Hackle: Sunburst polar bear fur.
Wing: Sunburst polar bear fur overlaid with black arctic fox.
Cheeks: Jungle cock
Head: Black.
Tying Method
Step 1: Secure the hook in the vice with point(s) protruding.
Step 2: Attach the white thread and wind back.
Step 3: Cut a generous length of nylon momofilament. The spool has the legend "Think like a fish no matter how weird it gets" I cannot comprehend which marketing genius dreamed up that little number
Step 4: Tie in the mono and wind to the rear of the hook.
Step 5: Wind the thread in touching turns to a point short of the eye.
Step 6: Wind the mono in touching turns to form body.
Step 7: Whip finish the thread and finish. Attach black tying thread and invert the hook in the vice.
Step 8: Tie in a bunch of sunburst dyed polar bear fur as a beard. 'Right' the hook and ensure that the beard sits central.
Step 9: Tie in a bunch of sunburst polar bear fur as a wing.
Step 10: Overlay the polar bear fur with a bunch of black dyed arctic fox.
Step 11: Tie in a pair of jungle cock eyes as cheeks.
Step 12: Whip finish.
Step 13: varnish to complete.
