Something close: http://kwsu.org/Offers/FlyTying.aspx episode 218
Go to this site (FlyFishOhio) and look for the The Puglisi Baitfish August 2007, the 13th fly down. Or go to the very bottom of the page and see the The Simple ShadJanuary 2006.

Also there is Enrico's Peanut Butter Fly.

When the instructions say to use a minimal amount of material - they are not kidding. The hardest part is keeping yourself from adding too much material. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
Hi Fish4trout;
If you decide to try this and are looking for materials, go to Fly Tyers Dungeon:

Look at Congo hair. very similar to Puglisi material at a fraction of the price.

Thanks for the help guys.... I will post a pic of what I come up with.
Hey Clay,
Thanks for the GREAT link. Almost made me go to my basement, dig up my "stuff" and tie my first fly. I say , almost.
Got the stuff but lack the talent, I'm afraid.

That KWSU link just has some wonderful stuff for guys that just don't get it looking at static pictures in a book. Love that site. Here's one more of my favorites for video instruction if you are so inclined to keep these for future reference: http://learnflytying.co.uk/category/...ers-lesson-01/
Oh, what the heck one more: http://www.theweeklyfly.com/index.php/TheWeeklyFly/
Sorry, I can get carried away with links,

I specilaize in the Hi-Tie method used in these types of flies. The previous suggestions are good, and I really can't add to them. You'll find these to be top producers.
Good luck.
