The pattern:
Hook--12 standard dry fly
Thread--White 6/0
Body--piece of white poly yarn, about 2 inches long, singed to melt at
either end. Lash this to the body over hook point, extending to rear.
Thorax--black fur, your choice. I use squirrel or rabbit.
Wing--heavily tied longish grizzley, 2 or three feathers wound hackle-wise
and clipped top and bottom.
There you have it.....easy to tie, painless to lose. The fish eat them up
like the real thing and they stay in their mouths real well. Go to it
guys...
one more I don't have to make batches of giveaways for you all!

I've noticed that there is no tail on this, and that is something I was
trying to include. Ideas or comments?
