Default Yellow Dancer Lure


I've had a fly pattern called a Yellow Dancer Lure suggested to me. It
is used as a winter lure in Scotland. It apparently has a long white
marabou tail and a palmered yellow hackle body with a gold head bead at
the front.

There is peathingy tinsel (Presume this is peacock tinsel) to be used
somewhere in it. Could anyone suggest if this is used for the body
layer before the hackle is palmered on the hookshank or is it for the
rib. If its for the body what is used to rib the palmered hackle.

Can anyone shed any light on the tying of this fly.
