Materials:
Hook - Daiichi Model 1510/Size 8
Thread - Pearsall's Naples Silk/Jasper
Hackle - Speckled Hen Saddle Hackle
Abdomen - Pearsall's Naples Silk/Jasper
Thorax - SLF Squirrel "Spikey Dubbing"/Rusty Brown
The abdomen is tyed in a double layer to thicken the body. I wrapped the silk from front-to-back-to-front in two layers. The Naples silk is also larger in diameter, which tends to give a thicker body. Sometimes I like a fly with a little meat on it's abdomen.

Re: Rusty Brown
Cool looking fly, but wrong forum section. 
It would make a great PED in a smaller size (#14), but I don't know if you would get away with it given the silk used.

Re: Rusty Brown
Oops...
Thanks Aaron. I agree. I think Pearsall's Gossamer would be a better choice for the smaller sizes.
(Mark - Can you move this post over to the Fly Dressing forum? Sorry, that I posted this in the wrong location.)

Fish when you can, not when you should! Anything short of this is just a disaster.
