Found this on 99flies site; a mini-Muddler with some non-standard materials. Tip of the hat to Koolaid for the pheasant tail/wing (original used mottled turkey for the wing but I'd just dyed up some hen pheasant so that's what I used).

hook - Mustad 3906B #8
thread - Danville Monocord rusty brown (3 Dollar Dip color)
tail/body - pheasant tail dyed orange
rib - brassie wire copper
wing - hen pheasant wing dyed orange
collar/head - deer hair dyed orange


Part 1

mash barb, start thread; tie in rib, wrap to bend




measure (gap width past bend) some pt fibers; tie in/trim






tie in some more pt by the tip; wrap to 3/4 mark






counterwrap rib; helicopter end, cover with thread






prep wing segments (gap width), measure (tip not quite to the tail)

Part 2

fold wing over body, tie in, trim butts










clean, stack, measure (tips to hook point) a clump of deer hair; tie in with 2 soft loops, tighten and let it spin










a couple more wraps thru the butts, whip finish, SHHAN







trim head
