Yes! Thank you for the great photos Hans. The recipes are posted as a text file on Hans' site, but here's mine again for the thread:

CCCP (Crimson, Copper, Coq, Pearl... and Mole)

Recipe:
Hook: #14 Partridge Capt. Hamilton Y2LA
Thread: Benecchi 12/0 Red
Tag: Thread
Back: Pearl flashabou
Rib: Fine copper wire
Body: Mole
Hackle: Coq de Leon hen (silver badger) full
Cement: Brushable super glue (Loctite)

Instructions:
Lay base of thread from the eye to mid-hook point, then forward 5 turns to create a tag. Tie-in pearl flashabou on top of shank. Flatten the tip of the copper wire rib and tie-in on the shank bottom. Wax and touch dub the mole onto the thread and create a body (no taper). Bring the flashabou forward and secure at head. Bring rib forward in 5 even turns and tie off at head. Tie-in hackle by the tip, fold leading edge back, and wrap forward 3 turns, tie off and trim excess. Dab 2 mm of thread with brushable super glue, wrap once and whip finish normally.
