Fully dressed flies are fly fishing flies that use many or all of the parts of a fly. Mainly salmon flies, these are exquisite patterns that are made from mostly rare and beautiful materials and feathers, such as feathers from golden pheasants, toucans, swans, and ivory-billed woodpeckers (only 2 known patterns use ivory-billed woodpecker feathers).
Parts
Body-usually natural or light color dyed from rabbits, seal, and muskrat.
Rib-mostly tinsel, floss, or wire in gold, silver; oval or flat.
Tip/Tag-a small portion tied on the bend before the tai; usually floss or tinsel
Tail-usually feather fibers (i.e. tippets, hackle)
Butt-small ball of fur dubbing, herl, or Krystal Flash; tied after the tail and before the body (similar to midsection, shoulder)
Wing-the most complicated and intricate part; usually made from feathers and tips of feathers (i.e. turkey, duck, bustard, jay) either separate feathers or married feathers. Usually the color compliments the body and presents a theme.
Cheeks-small feather tied on each side of the wing just before tying the head, contrasts the wing and body slightly.
Horns-thin feather sections tied before the cheeks, in an angle similar to the wing angle.
Throat/Beard-fibers tied like a nymph fly's beard that is only on the bottom of the hook and extends to the point (i.e. Guinea, Honey Dun Hackle).
Head-usually thread or fur, tied in at the end behind the eye; usually with thread it is tied to present a smooth "head"; with fur to hide small tips left from the wing (with same purpose as thread head).
They are mostly for collections and display, as many are expensive to tie.
