Hudson

Tail - Green quill sections
Tail-tag - Orange floss
Ribbing - Gold tinsel
Body: Dark brown, almost black wool
Hackle - Orange
Wing - Light brown mottled turkey

From Don Bastian Notes

Examination of the Trout color plate painting reveals a tail-tag as a short orange stub of floss topping the quill section tail. J. Edson Leonard, author of the book, Flies, correctly designates this component application, usually of floss or wool, as a tail-tag. A tag is always at the end of the body, underneath the tail, and a tip is at the end of the body, encircling (in front of) the tail.

“Tail-tag” is new vocabulary for me. What an interesting detail. Thank you for the additional information.

I grew up on along the Hudson River in the Adirondacks, so the name grabbed my attention right away.

Cool pattern Norman.
