Wow Bill,
This fly looks as if it could wiggle out of the jaws, go to the surface, and take flight. Very buggy indeed! It has all the "Right Stuff" for a great fish catching fly! Great looking tail fibers too!

I keep coming back to this. Bill, I hope you don't mind if I share your recipe.
Hook: Vintage Mustad 38932, Size #12
Thread: Pearsall's Gossamer 6A, light orange
Hackle: Golden plover (neck area)
Tail: Bronze mallard barbs
Abdomen: One dyed tan and one dyed sulphur turkey biots wrapped together, notches forward
Thorax: Natural hare's ear, twist dubbed
I didn't understand how you achieved that body until you shared the components for the abdomen. Nicely done.

Thanks for posting the recipe. I was banging my head against the wall trying to figure out that body.
