Kinda like a PMX; since I can't find a recipe, I'm winging it here.



hook - Tiemco 5212 #10
thread - Uni 8/0 tan
butt - 2mm foam red
feelers - biots tan
body - tinsel opal
body hackle - brown
rib - wire x-small gold
wing - elk bleached
indicator - Mcflyfoam cerise
post hackle - grizzly
legs - rubber medium
thorax - Ice Dub golden brown


Part 1

mash barb; start thread





take a 2mm x 2mm strip of foam (original pattern had a dubbed butt; foam floats better), fold it





lay it on top of the hook (let it extend about 1/2 the hook gap); tie it in & tie it down







tie in biots on either side of foam





tie in wire rib and tinsel





wrap tinsel forward and tie off





tie in hackle (size down by 2; this is for a #14); wrap hackle to back

Part 2

spiral rib through hackle; helicopter and tie off





clean and stack a clump of elk hair; measure for length (a bit beyond butt), tie in and trim hair butts







wrap some non-tox wire over wing; tie in indicator





post up McFlyfoam; prep a hackle and tie in, shiny side out







tie in legs





dub it up and dub it on; finish with thread at base of post

Part 3

start wrapping hackle from the top of the post




wrap down, let it hang then tie off with a couple horizontal wraps at the base; half hitch x2, SHHAN





remove non-tox wire, trim legs, trim indicator and you're done








Regards,
Scott
