Inspired by Pete Naranchich's Big Hole Demon nymph/streamer http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/s...Hole-Demon-SBS. Pattern calls for badger hair tail - mine's 2700 miles away (and the fly shops around here don't open 'till 10) so I subbed hackle; doubt that it matters.

thread - Uni 8/0 fire orange
