The Black Turkey is a pattern created by Ralph Hoffman. I do not know much about it and didn't even know it was a fly until a follower mentioned it to me and wanted to know how to go about creating the wing of the Black Turkey. The wing is a folded bit of turkey tail and not your usual match wing. He passed along the following link on the Bulletin board Sparse Grey Matter (https://www.sparsegreymatter.com/viewtopic.php?t=455) where the pattern is mentioned and the recipe is given. The major focus of the video is on how to create and tie in the wing but the pattern itself has some nice basic wet fly techniques that are good to know and master. - Enjoy
