motor oil chironocone

[herefishy]

There's a color called "motor oil" that's very effective in a chironocone - does anybody know how to achieve this effect? I have looked for tubing in this color, but can't find it, only references to the finished fly. Is it just pearl under brown tubing?

I tried it with opal tinsel and olive D-rib. Looks pretty close. Maybe Gold tinsel might have worked better.

Here,
Do you want this D-rib? This is only the second time I've used it in 3 or so years. I had to dig it out of a "back-up" box.
PM me a snail mail addy, and I'll send it to you.
