I made the body of this guy with a wire/dubbing twist graciously provided from our friend Ruard.

Hook: Mustad 3665B #12
Thread: Griffith's 14/0 Brown
Body: Medium Olive dubbing twisted with wire (thanks Ruard)
Hackle 1: one wrap of long dark brown soft coq de leon
Hackle 2: dark grouse

Carl - You keep adding items to my fly tying shopping list. Todays addition "Mustad 3665B" hooks. Thanks for feeding the obsession and helping me spend my money...

Great fly, btw.
