Not a whole lot of info on this fly (first tied by Ralph Hanna in 1948 ), but thought it was cool looking; just one pic, so mea culpa if I missed something here.

hook - TMC 5212 #10
thread - Danville 6/0 black
tail - duck quill red
body - peacock herl
back wing - bucktail trude style
front wing - hen hackle tips tied semi-spent

Part 1


mash barb, start thread at 60% mark; wrap back to point above barb

tie in, convex sides facing each other; pull wings up/back and wrap in front to set the proper angle (forgot to take a pick of upright wings)
