A variety of flies tied with extra long hackle.
Also any multi-colored hackle feather. Similar
to Spider Flies, but Variants may have small
tails.

an inner wing, through which the inner wing
partly shows.
Veiling:
Term for trailer hair or feather fibers which
stream back from body joints. Found mostly on
salmon flies. See - Trailers.
Veined Wing Material:
Commercially made plastic, very thin, which has
printed veining. Useful for imitating veined
wings of some Mayflies or other lacy winged
flies. May be cut to shape and size.
Venery Pheasant:
Skins from this bird provide a wide range of fly
tying materials. Also know as the Reeve
Pheasant.
Vibrator Wings:
Formed of fine hackle tips tied slightly forward
over the eye of the hook. They tend to vibrate
or move with wind and water action creating a
semblence of life to the fly.
