Interesting. This has the same colour scheme as what would be called a "Silver Dorothy" here, it's tied with Grizzle hackle for the wing (the streamers), which are tied down along the hook (Matuka style), and the tip wouldn't be included (yes, major changes and different flies, but similar overall idea). I've tied a few standard NZ Matuka pattern as squirrel tails, and this would have been the conversion (apart from the tip). They work very well.
