I have no idea why the black thread show up as gray, but it does:

Not only works during a Hendrickson hatch, but also for little brown stoneflies.
(And as a top dropper, it's good at keeping the didymo off the point.)

What is your recommendation for hook make/model/size?
I think I can figure out the recipe from the picture
(I’m guessing: woodduck/muskrat or mole/medium dun hen/black thread)
Terrific pattern btw.

I use Mustad R50's for just about all wets anymore. I've used other perfect bend hooks in the past.
The dressing is the traditional one, pretty much as you figured. It's muskrat dubbing.
Steenrod just changed the hackle color on a Dark Cahill and called it by a new name.
