rib - x-small wire gold

hackle - partridge
antennae - woodduck flank
head - dubbing brown


mash barb, wrap non-tox

start thread, tie in rib, wrap to bend

dub thread/dub abdomen to 2/3 mark (part 2 seems to have disappeared into the either)

Can't go wrong with a Harrop pattern. Very nicely done, Scott.

Now that I could fish forever. That looks really good. It's a great pattern and a very nice job of sharing it.
