And tail material if you can

Nice fly, rough guess mustad C49S as I got a sample packet from a magazine years ago, tail might be fluoro fibre, or DNA which are much the same

Is the fly Munro's Killer by any chance? :lol:

Haha :lol:
it's named as a green bodied willie gunn I was looking on google images for willie gunn patterns and liked the hook!

I think the c49s is too round?

I'm pretty sure it's a salmon fly hook of some sort but which?

Is it an ancient partridge shrimp hook ? Tail material looks like supreme or unique hair ?

Looks like it could be this partridge cs54, shrimp hook, cheers

Not sure, the bigger sizes are not as curved looking, think its pretty close-

Its not the partridge Im sure of that, they are a lot longer shanked than the fly also finer wire.
