Tying Canadian Fly Patterns: the Montreal (by Peter Cowen)

The Montreal was originated back in the 1800's after Cowen emigrated from Scotland.
There are a number of variations on this fly and in this case, I'm following the pattern as laid out in the book "Compendium of Canadian Fly Patterns". We will see patterns with bronze mallard wing, a quill wing and/or a red quill tail.
I've tied mine with a fluorescent red body which should glow nicely on dull days. Give the Montreal a try.
