Ralph, I hope you don't mind. I had an idea last week to tie some up, but change up the colors. I was shooting for a white version. White marabou instead of tan, Pearl Magnum Flashabou instead of the Gold Holo Tinsel (tied Mirage tinsel, thought it was too bright/reflective. The Flashabou is almost as bright/reflective), Silver Wire instead of the Gold Wire used in the video, kept the Red Ostrich Herl for gills, and went with some Duck Flank for a soft hackle collar (not the big primo flank feathers, but some small ones that I have a stash of). And a painted White Pearl Tunsten bead.

Double-checking the photo; looks like I need practice with my counter-ribbing. Hopefully the fish don't mine. I want to get one of these flies wet tomorrow.
