(1) Awesome fly! Extra buggy with a hint of pink "bite me" in the tail!
(2) The original calls for angora goat, but I replace with opossum or seal tied/spun loosely.
(3) The black version is tied with black hackle fibers and a black thorax.
(4) I've reverse the tying order of the tail. Doing so alleviates the floss burrowing in the tail.
Materials:
Hook: Hanak H400BL, sizes 12-16 (size 14 pictured)
Bead: Silver tungsten, size appropriate (3.0mm picture)
Tail: (1) Coq de Leon, light speckled (2) Hot pink floss (Globrite #2) thinned and tied on top
Body: Peacock quill (natural color) lightly covered with UV resin.
Thorax/Collar: Opossum dyed dark brown spun loosely in dubbing loop.
