Gig ,
I bet you could. There is stuff available to tie the mono bodies in the fly shops though. The tyers are using vinyl rib. George's flies are really great to look at but for me they would be too complicated a process for my tastes. I'll leave this pattern for others to tie.
George patented the fly in 1939. A rare thing to do! Here's a copy if your interested: http://www.google.com/patents?id=IL5...page&q&f=false
Now if could only find a copy of his book for $10 bucks...........
