Bright Butt Sedgehog SBS

http://i1302.photobucket.com/albums/...psdpqbv8iv.jpg

High-tie wing like a Mikulak Sedge and Nelson's Caddis; don't know which fly came first but they're all pretty cool. Again, stacking the deer hair didn't give the effect I was looking for, so for tail and wing it's left "as-is" cut off the hide. Change colors to suit your needs.
