Hook - Mustad 3906, 94840 or equivalent
Weight - 0.015 diameter lead/lead free wire
Thread - Black
Ribbing - Blue Mylar, flash or wire
Body - Peacock herl

Try different colors of tinsel for the ribbing and different colors of peacock herl for the body

Coat the hook shank with crazy glue prior to wrapping the peacock herl

Flytiers sure have a way at making things difficult

I’d definitely reach for this pattern before the “last resort”.

Fantastic hackle work, Norm. I like the hook choice; it puts one in mind of a less leggy version of the dreaded 200R.
