Sat down at the vice and this is what happened. Had good success at Oakdale yesterday with it.

White bucktail about yea long.

Lead wire.

Extra select craft fur one inch square.

Remove short fibers. Thanks for the tip Gary.

After dubbing I folded the flash and secured with a couple wraps.

One more one inch square of extra select craft fir tied in forward.

Pull everything back and put flash on top.

Head cement and glue some eyes on and your ready to go.

The answer to life the universe and everything is.........42!

This is a really cool and easy pattern. I'm going to take a couple to FL with me to see if Snook might just like to "Have a little nibble"!! What are you naming this fly? Krebsie
