Hans, thanks!! nice tie!
In the pattern book that I have, it called for 3 turns of the orange and three turns of the mallard, so heavily dressed compared to the soft hackles that I am used to tying.
I'm not sure if they got that right, but I do like it that way, bigger head though, all that mallard stem to hide.
Also for some reason I thought it would look good on a salmon hook.

Lined with cabins, smoke straight to the sky
Two ol fishin buddies with never a care
Teasing a trout with a fly.
