Body: Black hare's ear taken from the base of the ear (70%) mixed with purple Arctic Frost (30%)
Thorax: Black deer hair in dubbing loop or dubbed. Keep sparse.
Notes:
(1) Once the dubbing has been blended it should look comparable to a deep purple color
(2) Body should be kept as thin as possible. Admittedly, I might have picked out a little too much, but this pattern will fish well.
(3) Deer hair give an awesome impression of legs! Keep it sparse and trim accordingly.
(4) The fluorescent fire orange hot spot sticks out like a sore thumb against the subtle colors of black and purple. Dark days - dark flies!
(5) Replace the gold ribbing and bead with silver as a back up.
