NOTES: This is my tube version for one of the local patterns. The green theme is very popular on both the North and South of the Kola Peninsula. The use of teal flank or (and) grizzly cock feathers in the wing composition is quite "old" local tradition, as well as eye down double hooks, especially for rivers of Northern coast.
