    hook - Mustad 9672 #8
    thread - UTC 140 tan
    butt/underbody - 2mm foam tan
    feelers/legs - Sexi-floss gold
    rib - x-fine wire gold
    body - dubbing cinnamon rabbit
    hackle - dark ginger
    underwing - elk
    wing - calf tail hot orange
    head - dubbing rust/orange
    overhead - 2mm foam tan over orange


    Part 1

    mash barb, wrap shank with thread to give it some tooth




    tie in tan foam (gap width) at point above barb; brush a little Super Glue on shank and bind down to eye






    tie in orange foam (a little bit wider than tan) at head




    move thread back, fold foam butt and tie down

    Nice Tie and looks to be the answer for a Colorado River Golden Stone Dry.
