My take on it using seal fur with a little ice dubbing mixed in for sparkle for the thorax. Hen dun tail and hackle, primrose silk abdomen.

Very nice. I use one similar on some creeks in your area, west of Basin Mt.

Dubbn,
It worked well on the Missouri this year. Good late season pattern when the pmd's are around.

Excellent. Now you only need to tie eleven more to participate in my swap. (hint hint)

Yeah, but you only need 5 more Mike to be in the Secret Santa Swap.

Nicely done Mike. That should be a great pattern for you. It definitely has that Tups attraction to it.

Wish I had time, guys. Being a taxidermist, it's my busy time of the year.
