Inspired by Otter's recent thread on soft wing flies.
Hook: Daiichi 1130 #14
Thread: One of the yellowish Pearsall's that DON'T COME LABELED, so if you buy a bunch at once you're toast.
Body: Tying thread darkened with Prismacolor marker
Rib: Tying thread
Wing: Partridge
Tail: Partridge (there were two before I tried to straighten them)
Thorax: Hare's Ear
Head: Tying thread
Please forgive the poor quality of the photo. You just can't do macro with a cellphone.
