There are two variants of The Variegated Sun Fly registered on flypattern.org: one by Kelson and one by Pryce-Tannatt
Both of the variants have the same basic features: body of divided berlin wool, black front-hackle and a topping wing. Kelson calls for Macaw in tail and for horns, but here I use blue swan instead, not as stiff as Macaw, and not quite the color, but for these flies (that go into the fishing box) I wanted to use up some 2nd grade topping and try to tie up some quick and fishable patterns without the need for all the materials called for.
Tied on Partridge M2 #1/0
